Sorry, if this question has been answered before, but I could not find out with a brief look. How can I set the MAC address for a bridge? The MAC address given for the bridge device seems to be the one it sends network packets with if the bridge device has an IP address set. Apparently the bridge starts with a zero MAC address and when the first interface is attached to it, it takes its MAC address. When I try to set the MAC address, I just get operation unsupported as a result. I know I can probably cheat this by making a dummy interface, giving it the MAC address I want and then attaching it to the bridge, but this is but a crude workaround. -- Naked
