*** Bug 160685 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 160686 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 160688 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Closing, no info in bug report. I'm really sorry for that spam :( When I was trying to send bugzilla report, I
always got page with bugzilla internal error 500 or something like this (I can
make a screenshot if you like).
Here's the proper bug report:
I'm not able to change MAC address
initscripts-8.11.1-1
I'm not able to change MAC addres of my ethernet card via
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file.
I've changed:
MACADDR=00:40:F4:31:84:93
to
HWADDR=00:40:F4:31:84:94
and then typed:
[root@X audit]# LANG=C ifdown eth0
UrzÄdzenie eth0 posiada adres MAC inny niż spodziewany, ignorujÄ.
[root@X audit]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:31:84:93
inet addr:192.168.0.7 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

[root@X audit]#
which means "Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring."
BTW I don't know why, but LANG=C does not work. It still shows messages using
system locale.
As you can see, eth0 is up :/ I also tried to modifying ifcfg-eth0 after "ifdown
eth0". "ifup eth0" works, but network card still have the same MAC addres.
Above steps worked without a glitch in FC3.
Please attach your ifcfg file. Created attachment 115594 [details]
ifcfg-eth0 file
Oh, don't bother. In previous Fedora's versions there was always HWADDR entry and I had to change it to MACADDR.In FC4 there is MACADDR by default. I didn't remember which one is correct, so I replaced it with HWADDR. I'm really sorry that I waste your precious time. |
