Opps sorry. Suse 11.1 zLinux
uname -ran output: Linux sup00039 2.6.32.46-0.3-default #1 SMP
2011-09-29 17:49:31 +0200 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux
cat /etc/SuSE-release :
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (s390x)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 1
Sorry, I cannot give a vm CP query since I am not allowed zvm access.
after doing znetconf -A:
sup00039:/etc/udev/rules.d # znetconf -c

I even delete the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to force a
rebuild
but that does seem to help ... it looks like this:
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it,as long as you keep each rule on a single line.

Anything else I need to supply ?
MY Guess is there is a config file that HOLDS the MAC address that is
not getting changed
and fubaring the whole thing
Thanks ..

Distribution? Version? Interface definition file(s)? CP QUERY output for
NIC? Etc.
