>Description:
On a FreeBSD 4.9 machine I want to change the MAC address on a DecChip
21040 "Tulip" Ethernet Adapter. Using ifconfig it shows the changed
MAC address but on the wire it does not use it, but the mac address of
the card itself.
>How-To-Repeat:
# ifconfig de0 down
# ifconfig de0 link 00:00:00:12:34:56
# ifconfig de0
de0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
        ether 00:00:00:12:34:56
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
        status: active
# dhclient de0

In another window:
# tcpdump -n -e -i de0
tcpdump: listening on de0
09:49:28.015226 8:0:2b:e6:d4:26 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 0800 342: 0.0.0.0.68 >
255.255.255.255.67:  xid:0xe6cecc20 ether 0:0:0:12:34:56 [|bootp] [tos 0x10]
