creating a vnic to represent the factory MAC address
How do I create a vnic that represents the factory assigned MAC
address of my physical nic?
The bge device in my system (x2100) appears to support 4 MAC
addresses. The driver reserves the first as the ''primary/default''
address and allows manipulation of the other three via the
MAC_CAPAB_MULTIADDRESS interface.
I''d like to use vnics on this system, as I have Xen guest domains and
will match a vnic with each domain.
Presuming that it''s no longer appropriate to plumb ''bge0'' under IP
(given that I''ll want to also use the physical nic to create vnics)...
