 |
|
I'm trying to randomize the MAC address on one of my network devices (an ethernet card) using the | Code: | | mac_eth0="random-samekind" |
option in /etc/conf.d/net. When I try to restart the service with
| Code: | | sudo /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart -vvv |
I get | Code: | * Bringing up interface eth0
* Skipping module adsl due to missing program: /usr/sbin/adsl-start /usr/sbin/pppoe-start
* Skipping module br2684ctl due to missing program: br2684ctl
* Skipping module bridge due to missing program: brctl
* Skipping module clip due to missing program: /usr/sbin/atmsigd
* Skipping module ethtool due to missing program: ethtool
* Skipping module netplugd due to missing program: /sbin/netplugd
* Skipping module ipppd due to missing program: /usr/sbin/ipppd
* Skipping module firewalld due to missing program: firewall-cmd
* Skipping module pppd due to missing program: /usr/sbin/pppd
* Skipping module dhclient due to missing program: /sbin/dhclient
* Skipping module pump due to missing program: /sbin/pump
* Loaded modules: apipa arping bonding tuntap ccwgroup macvlan macchanger macnet ifplugd wpa_supplicant ssidnet iproute2 system vlan dhcpcd ip6rd ip6to4
* Changing MAC address of eth0 ...
* Failed to set MAC address [ !! ]
* ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start
|
Nevertheless, the eth0 comes back up, has a randomized MAC, and works correctly (provided I get a new DHCP lease or restart the dhcpcd daemon).
I'm curious what's responsible for the error message, and whether it is actually indicative of a problem here given that the interface seems to behave as expected. The contents of my /etc/conf.d/net are:
| Code: | config_eth0="dhcp"
mac_eth0="random-samekind"
|
and output of rc-update show:
| Code: | acpid | default
binfmt | boot

devfs | sysinit
dhcpcd | default
dmesg | sysinit

Black Knight ... you didn't mention what version of macchanger, or netifrc, but it's probably bug #540728.
HTH & best ... khay |
