Astaro 3.2. Cable modem ISP. I have been trying to use dhcpc to get an IP for the external NIC in a backup machine, where I have to spoof the MAC address that is sent to the cable modem.
I have had success when using a static IP, by inserting an ifconfig into /sbin/init.d/static_eth to generate the bogus MAC address; but I can't find a way to do it when using dhcpc. I've tried ifconfigs in init_nics and dhcp_eth, and a dhcpcd -I .... in init_nics, all without success. Sometimes the external NIC comes up, with the MAC address I want, but with no IP, subnet mask, gateway etc.
I suspect Astaro's dhcpcd may go straight to the NIC for the MAC address it sends to the dhcp server.
Anybody found a way to do it?
Thanks for any help.
