Bug#665933: [SPARC] NIC mac address changed on reboot (driver: cassini)
Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-sparc64-smp
Version: 2.6.32-41squeeze2
Every time the system reboots, the NIC's MAC address gets changed,
then udev changed the name of the interface. When network is
configured in /etc/network/interface manually, it fails to get network
connection. I'm not sure if it's a problem in the driver, or anything
else.
Currently I've applied following workaround:
1.Make udev don't rename the interface even MAC address has changed.
# chmod -x write_net_rules
# rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
2.Manually configure a hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces for every
interface available.
