in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 MACADDR=00:50:54:C0:FF:EE will change the MAC address Well, my hope was that specifying MACADDR would change the MAC address. However, the code tried to match the specified value with the current actual value and terminated when it found the mismatch. So, to be frank, I expect that a bug lurks here. But, given the absence of documentation, I thought it best to verify exactly how the scripts should work before assuming that my way -- and ChrisMcc's -- was correct. At the least, I suspect something more is necessary than merely specifying MACADDR. Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response. If this persists on a current release, such as Fedora Core 4, please open a new bug. |
