I've also tried some other options (-RXCSUM). https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/49518/ Extra console error logging (debug) should be interesting, too JKi: I had a look at both the posts in the forum you're referring to and at your first emails in this thread in which you wrote that you tried (I quote): ifconfig ue0 down delete ifconfig ue0 promisc ifconfig ue0 ether 00:FF:CC:00:11:11 And it's not quite clear to me what you're trying to achieve. Why would one override the MAC address of an interface for the sole purpose of initiating a request for a new IP address from the DHCP server (in a home environment typically the ADSL or cable modem supplied by the ISP) that one is using. Surely FreeBSD provides more elegant ways to achieve the same thing. If these don't get you the desired result, based on the information supplied, I think it would be more appropriate to look at reducing the DHCP lease time on the server side and stick with the options available to you to initiate a request for a new IP address from the DHCP server rather than at configuring a locally administered MAC addresses to achieve the same thing. As for the commands in the various post, if I compare these to "https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ifconfig&apropos=0&sektion=0&manp ath=FreeBSD+11.0-stable&arch=default&format=html" I wonder what, in your opinion, the purpose is of sticking "delete" (per the documentation I referred to (I quote) "Another name for the -alias parameter") at the end of the first one. In addition given that operating system commands, particularly the most basic ones, tend to be similar across platforms (in this case I'm referring to similar Cisco commands) and considering the possibility that you may not have supplied all commands you used in the various posts, I would have expected a command like "ifconfig ue0 up" to have been the last one in the sequence. > as you state you've tried and came to conclude that it doesn't do what > you intend or expect it to. With promisc it works, like expected. But as you mentioned before, that is not the intended use. Don't need to log every packet on the network. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/57525/ Thanks a lot Best regards, Reiner _______________________________________________ freebsd-arm@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arm-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
