changing ethernet address linux
Hi,
I don't have a network card, so I've heard that I can emulate one with:
modprobe dummy
ifconfig dummy0
I did that, and the device shows in the list, and I even changed the it's ethernet address from 000000000000 to one different than 0. The problem is that, even after doing this, the lmhostid program says: "The Ethernet address of this machine is:"" ".
Any idea? Is this procedure correct? Is here another one of getting an ethernet address when I don't have a Network card?
Thanks.
