More than one Pine64 - all the same mac address - Zhara - 08-23-2016

Hi again,

I have more than one pine64 but all have by default the same mac address which caused some headaches because of network problems and outages ... It took a while to find out what the reason is. I had to change the mac address permanently on two of my three pine64 to get it running.

So this is what I did to manage it:

# sudo nano /boot/uEnv.txt

There I changed the "ethaddr" entry and added another "mac_addr" entry:

ethaddr=36:c9:e3:f1:b8:01
mac_addr=36:c9:e3:f1:b8:01

After reboot, all went fine! Hope that helps

#mac_addr
#macaddress
#network_problem

Thanks Zhara, and no offense, but you must have missed the discussions of late.  Please go see the 'stickies' at the top of the Ethernet sub-forum.
