Re: linux 2.0.35 ip aliasing with aliased hwaddr

[pedward () WEBCOM COM (pedward () WEBCOM COM)]

The appropriate way to perform this is either:

 Set the new hwaddr in the card's filter list (most ethernet cards have a
        hardware packet filter, which filters ethernet frames based upon
        the hwaddr)

 Configure the card to do true MAC masquerading.  This is possible on a number
        of cards, however I believe the list is more limited than the one
        above.  Intel EEPro 10/100's will do MAC masquerading.
