Simply put it seems mountain lion will use either en0 or en1 or wi-fi if no en1 as the MAC address returned by the foundry's licensing software.
It seems a bit random as to which one can be returned. This is a well discussed issue recently on the list. No solution has been iron proof so far. I'm assuming that its an OS issue rather than the licensing software and pretty sure I've confirmed that in the shell. Anyway for a rock solid system on Lion this is now an issue with Mountain Lion. I've ordered the network list but nothing works reliably. Re. bobos post I had read a number of similar posts hence why spoofing en1 and rebooting has so far worked at least temporarily. Lastly I haven't tested disabling en1 yet. Howard On 27 Dec 2012, at 22:10, ArnoB <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Howard, > > What exactly is going wrong?
