Synopsis: [re] if_re doesn't work if you set MAC address

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback
State-Changed-By: yongari
State-Changed-When: Thu May 24 02:19:19 UTC 2012
State-Changed-Why: 
I think the correct way to change station address is to use
/etc/start_if.<interface>. For this case, the filename would be
/etc/start_if.re0 and its contents could be like the following.

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ifconfig $1 ether 00:02:1a:2b:3c:4d

See rc.conf(5) for more details.
