Charles,
In the light of recent (and previous) posts on leaf-devel and leaf-user
about changing a network card's MAC address, here's what I did.
I changed the stock DCD 1.02 network.conf script to support this easily
and elegantly. It only involves adding a couple of lines, but I think
this can be very useful for quite a number of LEAF users. I actually use
this myself whenever I want to update my own "live" firewall. I also
already used this when my network card failed, and I had to replace it
with another one - at the start of an extended weekend of course (thank
you, Murphy!). It works like a charm... It is a perhaps somewhat simpler
solution than the one proposed today on leaf-user, and can be used for
*all* the interfaces if necessary (it uses the walk-through structure).
Here's the diff on the stock DCD 1.02 network.conf file:
126a127,128
> # Uncomment to set the MAC address your ISP registered you with
> #eth0_MACADDR=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
506a509,511
> # Added by Robert Sprockeels for changing MAC address
> eval local MACADDR=\${"$1"_MACADDR:-""}
>
537a543,545
>
> # Added by Robert Sprockeels for changing MAC address
> [ -n "$MACADDR" ] && ip link set $1 address $MACADDR
I will send you the modified network.conf off-list.
Anyone who needs this file can simply mail me...
Hope this helps!
Robert
