Re: MAC address trouble
I did an upgrade of my LAN this morning from 10Mbits to 100Mbits (full duplex). To do so i bought to Sitecom Fast Ethernet LAN cards (sitecom chipset). After installation i found out that freebsd gave both the cards the same MAC address (here is my arp output) 192.168.0.2 08-00-08-00-08-00 dynamic 192.168.0.3 08-00-08-00-08-00 dynamic i also found out that these are not the MAC adresses they are supposed to have (the DOS tool shows other MAC addresses). The driver both cards use is dc Can anyone tell me what is going on and if i can change the MAC of one of the cards during boot. I know i can change them using ifconfig dc0 lladdr newmac but i need to do this at boot cause having the same MAC address i lose contact to both servers. I've resolved the issue currently using /etc/rc.local i also found that this error is already discussed about on freebsd-stable an explanation of the error can be found here. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=nllr=ie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8threadm=amjkrm%241ke4%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.twrnum=4prev=/groups%3Fq%3DADM983%2B%252B%2Bfreebsd%26hl%3Dnl%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3Damjkrm%25241ke4%25241%2540FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw%26rnum%3D4%26filter%3D0 Marcel To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
