If you do # ifconfig eth0 <IP> the mac is set by UML, but if you do: # ifconfig eth0 up # ifconfig eth0 <IP> (which happens if you use DHCP but not only then, with some distro init scripts it happens even with static IP assignment) the default one is left (you cannot change the mac of a running interface - or at least it shouldn't be done automatically because it can cause problems, I guess). -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
