http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/501 http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=79306 check network interface init script and config, and if you find some like this mac_eth0="random-full", comment this line. I don't know where this line placed in FC 4, in gentoo it placed int /etc/conf.d/net file and see the post after that one. Is that an nvidia Lan card? from the source of forcedeth.c (not sure what version, but it probably doesn't change much between versions). http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/source/drivers/net/forcedeth.c if (!is_valid_ether_addr(dev->perm_addr)) { 3171 /* 3172 * Bad mac address. At least one bios sets the mac address 3173 * to 01:23:45:67:89:ab 3174 */ 3175 printk(KERN_ERR "%s: Invalid Mac address detected: %02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x\n", 3176 pci_name(pci_dev), 3177 dev->dev_addr[0], dev->dev_addr[1], dev->dev_addr[2], 3178 dev->dev_addr[3], dev->dev_addr[4], dev->dev_addr[5]); 3179 printk(KERN_ERR "Please complain to your hardware vendor. Switching to a random MAC.\n"); so it might be a bios issue too. tiger _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
