Thanks a million. from the ifconfig manpage: lladdr addr Set the link-level address on an interface. This can be used to e.g. set a new MAC address on an ethernet interface, though the mechanism used is not ethernet-specific. The address addr is specified as a series of colon-separated hex digits. If the in- terface is already up when this option is used, it will be briefly brought down and then brought back up again in order to insure that the receive filter in the underlying ethernet hard- ware is properly reprogrammed. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
