Does that actually change what goes on the wire too?
I have yet to have an ethernet device which could not have a user-defined MAC address. For one thing, some times a network card dies...and something is tied into the MAC address of the network card in a computer (example, software licensing keys sometimes use part of the MAC address in the key-generation algorithm). So, when replacing the network card... you need to force it to use the old MAC until you can get a new license key generated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
