Hi all,
The topic is on the subject. How to set a MAC Adress permanently on the iMX233 Olinuxino board? My board runs a squeeze debian distribution.
Please help, H
In /etc/network/interfaces
under "iface usb0 inet dhcp" add the following line
hwaddress ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
You could use 'nano' to edit this file.
Does it works for you ?
i have this at boot time :
Configuring network interfaces...Setting back to old MAC.
SIOCSIFHWADDR: Operation not supported
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/00-persistent-mac exited with return code 1
Setting back to old MAC.
Is somebody experience the same ?
Best Regards, H
Yes, it works for me and should work for you too.
Show me your /etc/network/interfaces file, also here is mine:
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet dhcp
hwaddress ether 6E:25:C4:8E:14:A7
This error message you are getting tells that the driver you are using doesn't support change of the MAC address. What kernel you are running ? Are you sure you edit your interfaces file correct ?
Show me also `ifconfig -a` output.
