MAC Addresses

[James Dow]

I did try that - it only returns the MAC address for already configured
interfaces.

Here is the cure all for my problem:

When adding a NIC on a Solris 7 box (may work on others but i'm not sure) in
order to not use the Solaris default MAC address:

from the prom prompt:

setenv local-mac-address?=true

If true, network drivers use there own MAC address, not the systems's
default.


Thanks for the help guys
