Hi,
I wish to set my own MAC for an ethernet interface on my laptop at boot time. What file should I use, or what software utility might do this for me?
I can set the HWaddr temporarily using
ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
but DHCP won't work even if I use
/etc/init.d/dhcp stop-start.
My objective is to connect the laptop to my cable internet provider, using the MAC of my desktop. At this stage I cannot network the laptop via the destop as I don't have an ethernet PCI card on the desktop, and the onboard port is used by the cable internet.
I'm using Debian Woody rev1 (want to dist-upgrade to unstable), and 2.4.18 (yes, I intend to get a more recent kernel as well, I'm aware of the security issues).
I know an option is to buy a PCI NIC but would like to try the MAC approach first.
If anyone can help, I'd appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you.
