Greetings, I just attempted a CD install of RELENG_8 on an AMD box. The install went nearly as expected, but upon rebooting into the new install. I ran into trouble -- cdce0 faking MAC address. CRAP! this'll never work. My ISP leases the DHCP by MAC address. Now I won't be able to make an attempt to gain internet access for another ~24hrs. I didn't think I'd need to parse the log during install to copy the MAC address for later use. As I see I'll need to maintain a _single_ "faked" MAC address. Can anyone assist me in effectively utilizing it? relevent info: nVidia nForce2 USB2.0 controller on ehci0 -- simply put; a USB cable attached from the USB port on the AMD box, to the USB port on the modem. What is the proper usage in rc.conf(5)? I'm attempting the following: ifconfig_ue0="ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx DHCP" Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --Chris
