I don't understand how this can be, since I didn't MFC the RTL8019
changes for ISA cards. I've fixed a few problems with them. I can't
recall if a bogus MAC address is one of them. You must have gotten
this message from -current.
: FYI, this is a bogus station address. There are two bits in an
: ethernet address that have special meaning. If bit 0 in the first
: octet is set, then the address is a multicast group address rather
: than a unicast address. (Hence ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is technically a
: special case of multicast.) If bit 1 in the first octet is set,
: the address is locally defined rather than globally assigned.
They look bogus to me too. I've made a number of changes to if_ed
that didn't make it into 6.0 of late. Maybe he should try those to
make sure I got it right. I managed to get the ed interface working
on an embedded board that we have at work.
It is down right now, most likely because I didn't turn it on after
putting the system back together tonight. I'll give it a spin
tomorrow.
