Re: [Xen-users] mac issue with network-bridge? xen-3.0.0-src XenS ource
Yes, power cycling solves it. I figures that out after I sent my previous email. I think I''ll save the 20 bucks and just write a small script to fix it on boot. It is just a test workstation. Thanks for the explanation. ------Original Message------ From: Ian Pratt To: Mike Brancato To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Cc: ian.pratt@cl.cam.ac.uk Sent: Dec 30, 2005 2:06 PM Subject: RE: [Xen-users] mac issue with network-bridge? xen-3.0.0-src XenSource> So > it looks like one of the scripts actually changed the MAC > address on my physical adapter to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

That may restore the old address. I''ve had a look at the tulip driver, and the AMDtek Comet is treated differnetly from all other tulip-type cards in that the driver appears not to read the MAC address from an eeprom. This probably saves 20 cents or something. Amazing. I think you''ll enjoy your xen experience rather better if you spend twenty bucks on a ethernet card...
