Greetings, I attempted another BSD install on another piece of hardware the other day. I'm evaluating a different ISP, and the gateway/router/modem they provided, has 1 ether, which I currently use on my server, and 1 USB(3) port that I had intended to use with the new install. Problem I ran into, was that BSD generates random (fake) MAC(3) addresses, when utilizing the CDCE(4)/ue0. This worked just fine during the install. But the modem "held" the MAC(3) generated during the install, and I now have no idea how to tell BSD to use that MAC(3) when negotiating with the modem. I had absolutely no difficulty assigning the MAC(3) address when spinning up several "live" Linux distro(s) -- they provide the following: su password: *** ifconfig eth1 down ifconfig eth0 hw ether ##:##:##:##:##:## dhclient eth0 blah, blah, blah
And I'm connected. Couldn't manage that with BSD. What must I do? Is it even possible? If so, can it be assigned for use on a permanent basis? Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --Chris _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
