Talk:Ifconfig

using ifconfig how do we set the hardware address ?

From the ifconfig man page on a Gentoo box:  hw class address Set the hardware address of this interface, if  the  device driver supports  this  operation. The keyword must be fol- lowed by the name of the hardware class and  the  printable ASCII equivalent of the hardware address. Hardware classes currently supported include ether  (Ethernet),  ax25  (AMPR       AX.25), ARCnet and netrom (AMPR NET/ROM). Dkaplowitz 06:44, Mar 29, 2004 (EST)
