I like to used reversed ips and have my router assign the ip address based upon the MAC address of the network adapter.
So I find the IP address (172.16.90) assigned to the rock, and then assign an ip addressed to that MAC address. I reboot, and I can't ping it. I look again and I see the Rock has now gotten 172.16.0.90 again. I figure I made a mistake so I create a new one. The same thing happens. I'm looking at my reservations and sure enough I'm seeing different mac addresses for "linaro-alip". I SSH into the terminal and "ip a" confirms that I'm getting a different MAC address.
What is going on here?
