The board we're configuring is a generic x86 board. RedHat is the distro we're using on this board. I'm sure the correct ethernet adapter is probed (I can ping on other hosts). Everything works perfectly well except the network services, because of this BROADCAST MAC ADDRESS. Are there ways to get this working with a special MAC address at hand? We're asking the manufacturer of the board if we could change the MAC address of this board (they have not provided it yet). We've tried updating the ARP table of the board and the hosts that would access the board to accomodate FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF MAC address, but the board seems not to respond to requests or replies of the hosts (we checked the packets using ethereal and tcpdump). :(. We've checked the telnet and ftp packages if its installed, and we're perfectly sure it's installed.
Thanks alot!

Hi!
I need help regarding MAC address issue. I am porting linux on a new board, the board has a built in ethernet adapter, since the board is just an evaluation kit, the MAC address is initially set to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (broadcast). I can successfully ping other hosts
