Mac address in freebsd

r3d · 05-06-2002

Hello.
I was wondering if there is a way to change the mac in bsd using ifconfig. I've read that in linux its "ifconfig <interface> hw ether <mac>, but this dosen't seem to work in bsd.

Thanks.
Matt

from the looks of man ifconfig, http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?s...topic=ifconfig , it's ifconfig <device> lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55, or whatever you want it to be....
