mac address is burned into nic card and can't be changed
Comment 1 Dawid Gajownik 2005-07-16 20:26:55 UTC 
Is something wrong with Bugzilla? I had problems with changing MAC address and I
reported that one month ago. I wasn't able to send proper bug report - there was
some kind of internal service error. After all it turned out that those bug
reports were sent but without content (please see bug #160690 ).

I also have to say that I haven't written this sentence:

"mac address is burned into nic card and can't be changed"

It's really strange, because Bugzilla forces users to write how to reproduce the
bug and adds info about user's browser. Was it send by someone from redhat.com?

BTW my problem with changing MAC address is caused by SELinux ;-)
