Hello Glen, and thank you for your reply. > On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 11:26:06PM -0800, Chris H wrote: >> ifconfig_ue0="DHCP" >> create_args_ue0="ether ##:##:##:##:##:##" >> create_args is simply ignored. >> > > Ignored how? What commands are you running to verify it works? > For me, create_args_IFNAME works fine on my firewall. Unfortunately, it had no affect for me. The ue0 maintained the same MAC it started with. Out of desperation, I even tried it in /boot/loader.conf. One thing I think might be worth noting; I see bge appears to interrupt the process, as it attaches to ue0. I don't have the RELENG_9 drive plugged in, as I write this, or I could paste the message here. Is it possible this is more an RC(8) problem, than anything else? I notice since 8.2, the RC(8) seems to have some differences. For example; it used to be possible to declare: ifconfig_<if#>_alias#="ether ##:##:##:##:##:##" But when I attempt to try this now, I receive an error indicating something about requiring an ""inet" when using ipv4". but adding an inet 1p,v.4.address stanza to it, causes an error as well. > >> I don't get it.
