Never mind, that was my body being in a different time zone. I went back and looked at a little chat i had with Patrick when he posted with the macvlan driver. At the moment we are still maintaining the model that a NIC can _only_ appear to have a single MAC to the upper layers. IOW, you have to instantiate a macvlan device for each of the 16 MAC addresses on the e1000 if you need to expose them. This means that the ip layer - even with multiple ip addresses will only ever see one MAC address. Note also: The name macvlan is a little misleading since it allows for the above without need for vlans. cheers, jamal -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
