Unfortunately, my FreeBSD 4.0 system core dumps when running the tool like so: $ ./setmac fxp0 ef:ef:ef:ef:ef:ef Bad system call (core dumped) $ Maybe my syntax is wrong, I don't know, I can't find any documentation.. The tool was apparently written for FreeBSD, but I don't know which version. Can you help me with this, or otherwise help me change the MAC address of my NIC? Thank you.
