Hi folks,
I have two 'hme' interfaces in my Sun Ultra 5, one on the motherboard and
one on a PCI card, and in the OpenBoot environment I have set
"local-mac-address? = true" in an attempt to make the cards assume their own
hard coded MAC addresses instead of using the systemwide one from the OBP.
However, both hme interfaces retain the host's global MAC address, as shown
below.
hme0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 08:00:20:b0:db:60
media: Ethernet autoselect
hme1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:feb0:db60%hme1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 08:00:20:b0:db:60
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX)
status: active
I read somewhere that the ability to use unique MAC addresses is somewhat
dependant on the driver, so my question is, does the hme driver included
with 5.0-CURRENT support this?
Many thanks,
Jason Mann
