Hi,
I am not able to find the relevant links about IFHWADDR feature for the
bridge. It only inherits the MAC from the first interface added into the
bridge and it is not possible to change it via ip/ifconfig. What is the
matter?
Thank you,
Peter

The bridge mac id can now be set to any of the devices in the bridge
(2.6.16 or later). Arbitrary addresses won't work because it would
confuse STP and other systems.
