Before the days > of VLAN switches I called it a feature, now I call it a bug. I know that the standard method of dealing with this is to set local-mac-address?=true in the OBP. However, I seem to recall someone saying that setting it wasn't working for someone under FreeBSD a while back. I don't remember if this was a bug or a feature. I think that Doug White said something at the time about forcing a specific MAC address with: ifconfig_hme1="ether 0a:0:20:00:aa:bb" This conflicted with DHCP, if I recall correctly: you couldn't put "DHCP" and "ether" statement into one rc.conf line or ifconfig statement. I'd have to dig to see what the workaround was. -royce -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Royce D.
