I think 00 is pretty much the standard starting byte for MAC addresses. I've seen the same problem - for KVM 61-65, with a 2.6.23 host kernel.
Fedora8, Windows 2008 see the MAC address correctly with an e1000 interface. But in Windows 2003 with e1000, the last four bytes of the MAC address are always FF:FF:FF:FF. The first two bytes can be either what I set or FF:FF (and then it doesn't pass traffic), and that can change on each reboot of the guest. info network always shows the MAC address I set. Invocation: qemu -boot c -m 1000 -vnc :3 -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:16:3E:AE:AE:09,model=e1000 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=vblade30,script=/tmp/vblade30 -monitor `tty` /vbspace/vb3-disk0 Alexey Eremenko wrote: > Do not start MAC address with 00: 01: or FF: > Those are illegal addresses. > > Try 50: or 52: or something.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
