https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D274092 --- Comment #21 from Patrick M. Hausen <pmh@hausen.com> --- No idea, honestly. How does RPi OS do it? If I remember correctly the seria= l is somehow passed as a parameter to the kernel by the bootloader. Using a FreeBSD specific vendor OUI and a stable MAC based on the hostid is probably best. Now, how can we proceed to get this working? I can try to find a "real Pi" instead of a compute module, serial console access, and an external USB Ethernet based on that chipset. Possibly we have some old hardware lying ar= ound somewhere at the office. I'll report back on the weekend. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
