Hi, I've tried both, but not at the same time. To override the burned-in MAC at bootime doesn't work on FreeBSD. It works on Linux, but only the promiscuous mode works as aspected with the FreeBSD RPi build. On 09.11.2016 23:16, John W.

As I know, you could change it, but with a parameter in CONFIG.TXT it doesn't work. That's also the reason, why I like to change it. I have used a RPI with a faulty power connector and suddenly the MAC address was changing after reboot (this happens only once). > JKi: I'm curious, are you just in the process of confirming that it can be > done or do you actually have some purpose for this and if yes, what is it? I've look into the FDT file with dtc and found the following string: mac-address = [00 00 00 00 00 00]; So, I guess it should be possible to change it. I tried it and the the auto configuration of the MAC remains. Maybe I've done something wrong. https://wiki.freebsd.org/FlattenedDeviceTree#How_to_convert_a_platform_to_FDT Regards,
