It would probably help to have a short explanation of what you're trying to accomplish -- that is, why do you need to set all of the NICs to have the same MAC address? In general, I'd say that setting all of the addresses the same (particularly with the ancient and horrible "local-mac-address?" EEPROM flag) is not a good idea. It's incompatible with the IEEE standards, and will necessarily break a number of different protocols you might be using. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list networking-discuss@opensolaris.org
