Hi John,

thanks a lot for you reply

/etc/start_if.ue0 will be launched before the interface is up,
so ifconfig up is done by the boot process.

The only message I get at boot in this stage is:

ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address
smsc0: chip 0xec00, rev. 0002
ue0: link state changed to DOWN
ue0: link state changed to UP

I also cannot change the MAC at runtime without loosing network connection.

There is no network connection, also if I supplied the ifconfig command
on the CLI.

That's another way you can set the MAC in /etc/rc.conf

Yes, but I can't use alias or add parameter with the ether, lladdr or
link options.  Than it says: ifconfig: ether: bad value.

But I've also tried this settings in /etc/rc.conf and it doesn't work.
