Hello Everyone.
I need to set the MAC address manually with a DHCP connection. I know you can do it with a static IP in the /etc/network/interfaces file but the "hwaddress" option doesn't appear to work with dhcp.
I know it isn't a recommended practice, but I am replacing a server at a remote location where the DSL provider tracks MAC addresses. I would rather do something in software than directly modify the eeprom on the card.
Does anyone know the trick?
IIRC, it's: ip link set <device> address <MAC addr>
There should be hooks to do this in the latest Dachstein (and I believe in Bering by proxy), so you can simply add the proper commands to your /etc/modules file (should be documentation in the comments at the top of the file).
