thanx for sharing your KnowHow and ideas. For a couple of people the solution
was to change the NVRAM option loacal-mac-address? to true. This seems to
work especially for quad ethernet interfaces. I've tried it now on an older
sparc4 Solaris 2.6 with one onboard interface and one additional Sun Swift
card. In my case, both cards holds the same old MAC address. So the NVRAM
seems not to work for any environment.
My final solution is an additional editing in /etc/init.d/rootusr. Just after
the loopback rule looking like
/sbin/ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 up 2>&1 >/dev/null
i added this lines:
if [ -f /etc/hostname.hme0 ]; then
/sbin/ifconfig hme0 ether 08:00:20:01:02:03
fi
if [ -f /etc/hostname.hme1 ]; then
/sbin/ifconfig hme1 ether 08:00:20:01:02:04
fi
This works fine for me.
Thanx to all the people, Dirk.
