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, Bob KK6ECM -----Original Message----- Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2013 21:28:00 -0800 From: kk6ecm <kk6ecm@gmail.com> To: "app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org" <app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org> Subject: [App_rpt-users] How to set MAC address on Beagleboard xM with Pickle Linux?

Is there a way of setting the MAC address on a Beagleboard xM with Pickle

Linux? The Beagleboard xM MAC address is generated each time it boots to a random configuration. Thanks, Bob KK6ECM
