Ethernet MAC address

[Misha Shnurapet]

Hi.

My Ethernet card stopped functioning, I believe it happened when I deleted the device in the old system-config-network tool.

>From that time my card's MAC address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF upon boot. I did a clean install of F14, nothing changed.

I asked for help at a local forum and they asked me to try this:
# ifconfig eth0 down
# ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
# ifconfig eth0 up

It does work that way.

How to fix it?

Thank you.
