Thanks for the quick reply Charles. I am using Bering-uClibc 2.0.1. I looked in the modules file and didn't see any comments regarding the ip link command. Can you point me to some docs that outine the command to put into the modules file.

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). -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
