This is obviously not FreeBSD syntax which Mike is using. FreeBSD syntax is just adding "ether 00:00:24:c8:62:a1" to ifconfig line in /etc/rc.conf. But both do the same: Temporary changing the MAC. They don't change the MAC in the eeprom, which still leaves the wrong MAC beeing used in BIOS for PXE booting. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
