Is it legal to have a dynamic MAC address?

I have the same device, except that mine is loaded with the right OS, DD-WRT and operates like the pro models.

No one in their right mind would pass it through.

So, it CLONES ONE, but will not allow you to change any other than the one the router has, and sometimes, not even that one.

Technically, it's called *an* "internet" -- hence my use of capitalization when talking about *The* Internet.

*My* clock is set just fine! You might want to think about that puzzle for a while... ;-)

Oh, BTW, welcome to my killfile.

If I call you retarded and know it to be true based on your pathetic behavior in this group, then I know I have done my job of declaring an idiot in the world as exactly what he is.

Nope. The term Internet has only one meaning, and it is capitalized. There is no 'internet' networking term.

Like I give a fat flying f*ck about retards and their kill files.

Your clock is OFF if a responder to your horseshit shows up on the post list ahead of the post he is responding to, you stupid twit.

BTW, dipshit,announcing your filter file edit session is even more retarded than using a filter to begin with is.

Well, I can see that you are about as professional as a freshly laid pile of stool.

You are the fucktard that should be filtered, you honorless, characterless bat's turd.

Just remember, if society is pushing your buttons.. you installed them!

I'm wondering, how do you feel about those new airport scanners - the ones that supposedly "see" you naked? You don't happen to own an aircraft, do you? Just checking... :)

We have an outift here that manufacturer's 125-watt WiFi / 802.11 boosters! For export us only, though.

Can you image the damage if your neighbors fired up one of those....?

Come up with a bogus address. We are currently working on a simple ethernet connected device that has a settable IP address of between 10.4.1.100 to 10.4.1.199, so I start with a base MAC address of say 04-03-02-01-00-00 and then when the user selects the IP address of 100 - 199 I use that number as the LSB of the MAC address too. 'If' the unit goes into production, I will buy/add in one of the memory products that have a valid MAC address in them, several are available from Dallas/Maxim and Microchip.

Ah, another one of Phil's offspring to be placed into the Bozo Bin.

BYE.

Actually, while chasing dimbulb.

Greed is the root of all eBay.

More faeces references, Mr Nymbecile. You're really on fire today!

Do you get a hard-on when you think of s*it?

I auto filter google groups and that REALLY gets the noise level down, but every now and then some psychotic with a 'real' USENET client gets loose. I guess it gives them something to do in between nurse rounds.

Yes, but how do you ensure each developer within your organization "picks" a unique address (or, are you a small enough shop that you can speak to each such party)?

Why not set aside part of your OUI "For Development Purposes" (or an IAB)?

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Phil seems to do it here alot without feeling shameful for what he says. al

*Wow*! I was lookinig at a 1W AP and was afraid of the havoc *that* would reign on the neighbors! Who makes this beast?? I assume you can throttle back the power? Or, is it fixed gain?

It never comes up, because any person working on an ethernet enabled project had damn well better not have them connected to the company intranet. All development is done on isolated networks and the project group knows what addresses are being used for what within that project. If the units are going to be released into the wild, THEN they get a real EUI-48 address.

It all comes down to what is the most expedient to get the job done. In the end all that matters is that the units released have 'real' MAC addresses and the bogus ones used during development are not an issue.
