Hi all,
Is there any way of retaining the hardware ethernet address that goes
with an XP1000 backplane? We have had one fail and it has to be changed but
there are software licenses keyed to that address. It is a slow and
expensive
process getting a new license. We can't see anywhere on the board a
removable chip that looks like it holds the ethernet address, but all
previous
Alpha systems have had such a thing. (I know swapping it wasn't supported
but it did work).
I have often wondered if there was a way to overwrite the address in the
kernel but have never had enough time on my hands to try...
Thanks,
Marco
