Yet it is curious, isn't it?
In every course about networks they say that the mac is fixed and not repeatable, that each card has a fixed number, a part which is the manufacturer number and a second part for the serial number.
And later we learn that it is just rubbish and you can set up any number you choose.
Funny!

I use to work for a local ISP and we use to provide cheap little Realtek NIC's to the customers on a frequent basis. From time to time we came across NIC's that had the same MAC Address out of the box. So the illusion of no two devices ever having the same MAC Address is, like most things, only valid in a text book. -- Regards, Shawn Holland -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
