>
> Summary: b44 driver - system hangs while changing MAC address
> Kernel Version: 2.6.16
> Status: NEW
> Severity: normal
> Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> Submitter: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>
>
> Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.16
>
> Distribution: Arch Linux (current - 22.03.06)
>
> Hardware Environment: Acer TravelMate 2403, Broadcom BCM4401-B0 ethernet
> card
>
> Software Environment: Linux kernel 2.6.15.6 - 2.6.16 (didn't try earlier
> versions, but probably they are affected too)
>
> Problem Description:
> System hangs without any message while trying to change MAC address of
> ethernet
> card that wasn't already up before. Basically, system freezes when the
> ethernet
> card isn't initialized during start of the system (no "ifconfig eth0 up")
> and
> the first call to ifconfig is: "ifconfig eth0 hw ether my_new_MAC" (where
> my_new_MAC is something like XX:XX:XX:XX:XX). But when I do: "ifconfig
> eth0
> 192.168.0.1 up; ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 hw ether my_new_MAC"
> everything works O.K., MAC is changed and network is working great.
>
> Steps to reproduce:
> Boot your system without running network initializing srcipts (e.g
> disable it
> in your runlevel configuration). Try to change MAC address - that should
> cause
> system freeze.
