Installing centos 5 on m2n-mx motherboard the onboard forcedeth
driver loads and says invalid mac address "97:42:40:F3:18:00"

Anyone else ever seen this before? Is it fixable? I went to

i saw something similar with my forcedeth on my asus board.

currently booted fedora, but i suggest it's the same doing

compare your output of ifconfig and the output of the related lines (ethx) from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf regarding your mac address.

if they are different, then
- remove or backup /etc/modprobe.conf
- remove or backup /etc/sysconfig/hwconf
- (maybe a modprobe -rv forcedeth; modprobe -sv forcedeth)
- run kudzu ( writes new files: modprobe.conf, hwconf)
- reconfigure your network with: System -> Administration->network, especial here the mac-address (via edit-> tab hardware device)
cause there are hardlinked
