Hi,
It should be possible to set the link layer address of an interface whilst
also setting the IP address. Here's a revised patch for ifconfig(8) to
add this functionality (against HEAD) based on the one in the PR.
There is a problem in that applying this patch modifies syntax such that
statements of the form 'ifconfig xl0 ether' to view the ethernet address
of an interface will no longer work. Using ifconfig(8) on its own or with
the -a switch will dump this information however.
Feedback anyone?
