spoofed MAC on a dhcp interface

[cha...@schluting.com]

Hi :)

/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_xl0="ether 00:11:11:11:11:11"
ifconfig_xl0="DHCP"

The above doesn't work..
I'm trying to set the mac, and then dhcp.. is this the correct way?

With this config, its not getting the mac assigned to xl0, so I have to
stop dhclient, run "ifconfig ether 00:11:11:11:11:11" manually, then
dhcp again.

Thanks!
-Charlie

Because that's setting a variable. If you set a variable, then set it
to something else, it doesn't keep the old value around for sport :)
