How to change MAC address on RPI-B?

[diffusae]

Hi!

Thanks again for your patch.

Sorry for the delay. You don't have to hurry. I've started a "buildword"
on RPI-B and it tooks 3.5 days until it was finished. :-)

I've revert the previous patch and applied the new one. Build the the
new kernel and modules and copied the kernel and the relevant driver to
/boot/kernel.

It works on the fly. Now you can change the MAC address at boot.

So settings in /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_ue0="ether 00:11:22:33:44:55"

or in /etc/start_if.ue0:

/sbin/ifconfig $1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55

works for me. With IPv6 you better have to use /etc/start_if.name.

I am not sure, but do you like to commit the patch to head, so it will
be available in FreeBSD 12? That would be great.

Best regards,
