in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX files there is a
config option "HWADDR=00:11:22:33:44:55" which allows you to bind a
particular MAC address to a particular ethX which should do exactly as
you want.
Ok, if I use the HWADDR value and last initscripts-8.31.5-1 I can bind
the logical device with physical device.
Many thanks!
A little problem, and question:
If the logical device is load without the HWADDR set, and it is not bind
to the correct physical device, the MAC show with 'ip a' is not that
right
[root@cambiami ~]# grep -E '(device: eth|network.h)'
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf
device: eth2
network.hwaddr: 00:09:5b:1c:9d:97
device: eth1
network.hwaddr: 00:40:f4:5f:8e:d1
device: eth0
network.hwaddr: 00:13:d3:0d:38:c6
[root@cambiami ~]# ip a|grep -E '(: eth|link/et)'
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:09:5b:1c:9d:97 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:40:f4:5f:8e:d1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:13:d3:0d:38:c6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
In this scenario, If I run 'neat' and press [probe] for eth0,
the MAC address returned is 00:09:...(natsemi) and not 00:13:...(r8169)
What is the best way to get the right MAC for a specific network card?
Many thanks
