I'm faced with similar problem right now: when building high-availability configuration it would be very handy to do MAC takeover instead of IP takeover. So, my questions follow: * which cards support it (that have FreeBSD drivers of course)? * is there some way to set it (I couldn't find any code in the ifconfig nor in the kernel)? Thanks!
