Using cloned_interfaces="tap0" gives a tap0 device at boot time, but I need to assign a fixed MAC address and tried doing this via ifconfig_tap0="inet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX netmask 0xfffffe00 link MAX_ADDRESS" (MAC_ADDRESS replaced by a valid MAC address). Reason ist I try to get an IP via DHCP - this is restricted by our computer center and their DHCP maintenance so I do not have influence on that. I need to provide them a fix MAC address. I think using ifconfig_tap0="..." in /etc/rc.conf seems to be too early., the /dev/tap0 device has always another MAC address after booting. Is their a 'definded' way to assign a MAC address within rc.conf? Regards, Oliver
