Re: [Xen-users] mac issue with network-bridge? xen-3.0.0-src XenS ource

Yes, power cycling solves it.  I figures that out after I sent my previous
email.  I think I'll save the 20 bucks and just write a small script to fix
it on boot.  It is just a test workstation.

Thanks for the explanation.

Have you tried power cycling the machine? That may restore the old
address.

I've had a look at the tulip driver, and the AMDtek Comet is treated
differnetly from all other tulip-type cards in that the driver appears
not to read the MAC address from an eeprom. This probably saves 20 cents
or something. Amazing.

I think you'll enjoy your xen experience rather better if you spend
twenty bucks on a  ethernet card...

Best,
Ian
