I'll start by saying this didn't happen on 7.1 on the same exact machine. I've been fighting with this for 2 days now and have come up with no answers on my own, so I'm hoping one of you guys can have some insight here. When I run "/etc/rc.d/netif restart" (also happens with a stop / start) , I can no longer get to the server over the network. When I do a packet capture on my workstation, it looks like it's MAC address changed somehow. The first two bytes of the address are different. For example, the real MAC is 00:15:17:1b:cf:7a , but I'll see the replies from a MAC of "02:67:17:1b:cf:7a". After each run of "/etc/rc.d/netif restart", the first two bytes will change again. I have to reboot the server to get it working again. The "em" cards in question are: dev.em.0.%desc: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 7.0.5 dev.em.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=3D0x8086 device=3D0x108c subvendor=3D0x8086 subdevice=3D0x348d class=3D0x020000 dev.em.1.%desc: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Legacy Network Connection 1.0.1 dev.em.1.%pnpinfo: vendor=3D0x8086 device=3D0x1076 subvendor=3D0x8086 subdevice=3D0x348d class=3D0x020000 FWIW, this is on an Intel 1530 series server.
