Does the driver in NT support software configuration of the hardware address? I looked up information on this card and could not find any detailed support. The ethernet prefix 08:00:08 is registered to: 08-00-08 (hex) BOLT BERANEK AND NEWMAN INC. 080008 (base 16) BOLT BERANEK AND NEWMAN INC. 70 FAWCETT STREET CAMBRIDGE MA 02138 Did the second hardware address begin with this prefix? I am aware of cards that can have their hardware addresses set with the configuraton software, but I am unaware of any cards that "auto-generate" their hardware ID's.

I needed a machine for NT4 server do to some testing so I removed my freebsd drive and installed a new one with NT4. It was not networking and when I ran Ipconfig it showed up with a totally different Ethernet address. The card is still the same. Is there a reason why I get two different addresses? thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
