Only a little bit...at least that's my experience for the MAC address of my LAN-card.
Was it for 5.1.2 and 5.5 the proven method
make a custom template in ifcfg-eth1
and change the mac address betweenNETMASK & NETWORK
like:
"BOOTPROTO=nonen" .
"IPADDR=$LocalIPn" .
"NETMASK=$LocalNetmaskn" .
"MACADDR=00:C8:F8:20:89:V7" .
"NETWORK=$networkn" .
"BROADCAST=$broadcast";
..
I got messages of being NOK, the syntax was proven ok for the other versions.. but that seemed to be nog guarantee....
The solution? (it seems to work):
put the MAC address neraly on top (see example) and then expand as normal
I've tested it by changing the ip address by reconfiguring using the service manager. Other options failed as the change was lost... ;(
But this one remained, also when i try to do dynamci IP on the in-card (eth1).
In the stand-alone test I get the message:
"Determining IP info for eth1.....dhcpcd: MAC address =00:12:c3:c8:f8:89"
and because it stands still free: failed... but you see it is sending the faked address and that's what it is about.
(asap when ready with configuring i will go on -line with it)
Experiences from you are welcome!
ifcfg-eth1 (in the custum sub dir)
(it is from SME5.5 as the 5.6 is still stand-alone for testing, the header of both is however the same, do the mod look alike)
