I attempted to use the suggestions previously provided. However, they were either rejected, or quietly ignored. :( with: ifconfig_ue0="ether ##:##:##:##:##:##; DHCP" the ether isn't honored (ignored) ifconfig_ue0="ether blah blah blah" ifconfig_ue0_alias0="DHCP" throws an error (but spins by too fast to catch) /var/log/messages would probably reveal it. ifconfig_ue0="DHCP" create_args_ue0="ether ##:##:##:##:##:##" create_args is simply ignored. I don't get it. I've tried every imaginable incarnation I could possibly conceive. Is it even possible? I had really hoped to turn this into a gateway, and while Linux will "clone" the MAC(3). I don't trust it (security wise). Is Linux' DHCP more robust than BSD'?! Hard to imagine, but I'm completely at a loss. --Chris
