I'd really like to hear a, "hey stupid, you forgot to ____". :)
Failing that, does anybody know how to suspend anaconda so I could
see what, say, ifconfig has to say about the situation? Virtual
Consoles work at the real console, but I'm not figuring it out in
xm console.
OK, at least part of the _____ was "Learn how MAC addresses are
structured".
By using BF as the most significant byte, my MAC started with
10111111, *with an LSB of 1*. This makes it a multicast address.
Doh. So my determination that I didn't have networking was correct,
only more correct was that I didn't have unicast networking
(obviously what's useful here) and I shot myself in the foot to boot.
I've switched to 02 (00000010) as my first byte which both makes it a
unicast address and follows the proper form for a locally-assigned MAC.
I still don't have DHCP working yet, but I can now at least see the
network, and am on to other errors.
