The Ethernet address is given as six hex bytes separated by colons. However, the hostname is NOT a valid argument, one must supply an IP address. Hence, the documentation shoudl be changed to: -s ip ether_addr or something along those lines. >How-To-Repeat: see above >Fix: see above. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
