Hi,

I'm running 5.3 STABLE.

I need to change the MAC address of my PC.

I know it can be done like this:

   ifconfig rl0 ether 11:22:33:44:55:66

So I guessed I could make life a little easier by
adding this in my /etc/rc.conf file as:

ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.123.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
ether 11:22:33:44:55:66"

However, this does not seem to work. No IP address
is assigned to the LAN card after bootup.
Apparently something is wrong here.
Any idea how I can do this at bootup?

Thanks,
Rob.
