| |
Hi all,
I have found out that ioctl SIOCSIFHWADDR could be used to change the current MAC address of an Ethernet device. But the big problem is that after an reboot the change is gone. Is there an other way of changing the MAC address permanently?
I am asking, as I am working in a company which does produce devices which are using Intel based NICs and where Linux is used as OS. At the moment we need to boot vxworks to change the MAC address and could the "install" Linux on the device. The biggest problem here is that for vxworks we need an other BIOS as for Linux.
Thanks for any hints -- Christian Gmeiner, MSc
