How can I clone a mac address on wlan0?
For a variety of boring reasons I need to clone a mac address on wlan0. The documented way to do this: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 wlanaddr 00:11:22:33:44:55:66 works in the sense that it sets up the interface with that mac, but then the wlan0 interface never associates. Doing everything the same but omitting the wlanaddr argument (which causes wlan0 to use the mac of the wpi0 device) works. This also doesn't work in 8.2-RELEASE, so either we've got a long-standing bug, or I'm doing something very wrong. The wpi0 card is an intel 3945abg, I also have a couple of ath cards I can try (although so far they haven't worked either).

Re: How can I clone a mac address on wlan0?
The way I'd debug this (without being a developer) is: * get another laptop with say an ath card; * put that interface into monitor mode; * tcpdump -vveni wlan0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO | grep -v Beacon Then try associating to the access point and see what station MAC it's sending in its packets. adrian On 29 March 2011 14:38, Doug Barton do...@freebsd.org wrote: For a variety of boring reasons I need to clone a mac address on wlan0.

This option is only used (and valid) in multiple VAP setups. The BSSID is used to filter frames, everything not to the BSSID (or multicast/broadcast) gets dropped. With multiple VAPs you want to use different BSSIDs for each AP. There are two options to achieve that, using the bssid parameter which will generate a semi random MAC (based on the hardware's MAC address) or the wlanaddr parameter which allows a user to define the complete address. Whether the hardware does support setting multiple BSSID filters is another story, I doubt we have one in tree.. mostly the addresses are generated in such a way that for example either the first 4 or last 4 bits are changed and therefore a wildcard filter can be used. Now to the point, wpi(4) has no support at all for multiple VAPs.. therefore no one ever had a look at that. Anyways.. you might want to look into the link option, changing the wpi0's MAC will also change the one of wlan0. -- Bernhard ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You can show and clear the neighbor cache data by using ndp command, which has similar handling as arp. If you use tcpdump to debug NDP packets be aware that by enabling promiscuous mode you get every multicast packet despite of correct filter setup, so you won't see a problem if the driver isn't configuring the filter correctly.

And only when we will be ready for that and that portmgr have decided that it is mature enough to replace pkg_install, only after that we will start improving with new features and new changes. I thinks changing the package name scheme is not a must have feature, it for sure is and intresting feature, but what about pushing to after the first stable release? managing architecture as we plan to do it is enough imho.

Re: ZFS dedup and temporary freeze
The system has 4Gs of RAM. I don''t use any devices for L2ARC and my tuning is like this: vm.kmem_size=3072M vfs.zfs.arc_max=2048M I had my eyes on the memory during the whole procedure and things looked normal.

bsdinstaller / partedit emacs key patch
Hi,
I noticed that the entry widgets in the bsdinstaller label editor don't
understand various emacs keys (eg C-a, C-d, C-e).
Here's a patch which adds the basics.. Unfortunately dialog doesn't have a
key for delete all, delete left or delete right so I couldn't add C-u, C-w or
C-k.
Note that you can't just call dlg_parse_bindkey(* ^a BEGIN) because dialog
modifies the string which crashes (seg fault).
