I didn't notice anything in dmesg's output, but I'll double check. "ifconfig eth1 hw ether" doesn't complain either and later shows the new, changed MAC address. This behaviour is confusing because the user can't tell that something went wrong... Tomorrow I'll be able to confirm you more precisely if, upon a MAC address change, both dmesg and ifconfig stay silent and don't report an error. The set_mac_address stuff is not that important at least for me (seldom useful when dealing with firewalls/switches that do layer 2 filtering), more important it's to point out, and that was one of the purposes of my post, that the asix module works fine on PPC (with a couple of patches). thanks, ciao, -- Giuliano ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
