Hello,

I have to clone my external's hw adress in order to keep my public IP unchanged.

I tryed this through rc.inet1.conf

Adding HWADDR[0] it should work, it's equal to
"ifconfig eth0 hw ether ab:01:23:45:67:89"
you can try doing it manual like

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 hw ether ab:01:23:45:67:89
dhcpcd eth0

Hi,

Have tryed it allready.
After manual commands, ifconfig eth0 displays the new MAC, but after dhcpcd et0, on the dhcpd server logs, the DHCPOFFER is for the old original MAC.

I'm still digging.

OK!

I've got it.

It seemes that there is a mechanism for validating the MAC's.

In my tests I first used "ab:01:23:45:67:89" and it didn't worked.
But when I put "00:01:23:44:55:88" it worked from the first shot even from rc.inet1.conf

Thanks for your support.
