| |
Hi,
I have a Realteck 8139 PCI fst ethernet adapter. It uses the fealnx kernel module.
I have problems changing the mac address.
normally after boot it works correctly. but after i change the mac address it doesnt respond.
$ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <ping reply> $ifconfig eth0 down $ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx $ifconfig eth0 up $ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <network host unreachable>
This is very wierd. I had a dlink lan card and it used to work properly after changing the mac address.
Anyone knows why Realtek cards dont work after changing mac address...
I have test this on a gentoo (2.6.7 kernel), slackware (2.4.26 kernel), knoppix live cd, pclinuxos live cd.
Cya.
