Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Hi, I've messed-up the information in my dallas timekeeper. My eaddr is now ff:ff:ff:ff. Which, of course, won't do much anymore. I was wondering if it is possible to write a new mac adres into the timekeeper (it's just a static ram) with linux? (under irix it won't work). Has anyone ever tried this, or know why it should/shouldn't work ? Richard
