Hi everyone, I'm running FreeBSD 6.2. and I'm trying in short to change the MAC address of my network interface at boot. So I wrote something like this in my rc.conf file: ifconfig_xl0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ether 00:00:11:11:22:22" at next boot the interface was not configured at all, so I tried it manually: ifconfig xl0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ether 00:00:11:11:22:22 and got ifconfig:ether:bad value It works perfectly when I set only inet and only ether addresses. How to make It work in rc.conf? The only info in the net that I could find was non-authoritative and suggested this is a bug?
