[App_rpt-users] How to set MAC address on Beagleboard xM with Pickle Linux?

[Bob]

Thought I had it... worked for awhile, then all of a sudden it changed IP
addresses on me again (sigh!) Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

OK... found it and I figured it out. 

Edited /etc/network/interfaces

ADDED the following at the end of the file:

  hwaddress ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

After rebooting, the "permanent" MAC address is on the card, so it now acts
as a hardware MAC on bootup. Saved the SD card image as my new baseline
backup for Pickle should I mess something up :-)

Now I can set a static address in my router for the Beagleboard-xM.

Still learning as I go

Thanks,

Linux? The Beagleboard xM MAC address is generated each time it boots to a
random configuration.
