I think most other distros use ‘ifconfig’ from net-tools, not from GNU inetutils. If think this is just unimplemented. Can someone at bug-inetutils comment? That is correct, GNU ifconfig does not support setting the MAC address.

Guix also includes the 'iproute2' package, which includes a program called 'ip' that can do the same kinds of jobs as 'ifconfig'. I've successfully used it in the past to set the MAC address of my network devices. IIRC, the command would be something like this: ip link set address Mark From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sat Jul 11 06:27:32 2015 Received: (at 21019-done) by debbugs.gnu.org; 11 Jul 2015 10:27:33 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:46623 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1ZDs0K-0005qw-9X for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 11 Jul 2015 06:27:32 -0400 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([208.118.235.92]:41112) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1ZDs0H-0005qj-SR for 21019-done@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 11 Jul 2015 06:27:30 -0400 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1ZDs08-0004kD-AI for 21019-done@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 11 Jul 2015 06:27:24 -0400 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.2 (2011-06-06) on eggs.gnu.org X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.5 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,RP_MATCHES_RCVD autolearn=disabled version=3.3.2 Received: from fencepost.gnu.org ([2001:4830:134:3::e]:51626) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1ZDs08-0004k5-6d; Sat, 11 Jul 2015 06:27:20 -0400 Received: from reverse-83.fdn.fr ([80.67.176.83]:47692 helo=pluto) by fencepost.gnu.org with esmtpsa (TLS1.2:RSA_AES_128_CBC_SHA1:128) (Exim 4.82) (envelope-from ) id 1ZDs07-0007VX-85; Sat, 11 Jul 2015 06:27:19 -0400 From: ludo@gnu.org (Ludovic =?utf-8?Q?Court=C3=A8s?=) To: "info\@danieleparisi.me info\@danieleparisi.me" Subject: Re: bug#21019: ifconfig doesn't allow mac change for devices References: <30839489.567159.1436465766764.JavaMail.open-xchange@app2.ox.privateemail.com> <87twtc1rm2.fsf@gmail.com> <87zj33c43v.fsf@gnu.org> <500058978.590533.1436606574412.JavaMail.open-xchange@app2.ox.privateemail.com> X-URL: http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/ X-Revolutionary-Date: 23 Messidor an 223 de la =?utf-8?Q?R=C3=A9volution?= X-PGP-Key-ID: 0x3D9AEBB5 X-PGP-Key: http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/ludovic.asc X-PGP-Fingerprint: 3CE4 6455 8A84 FDC6 9DB4 0CFB 090B 1199 3D9A EBB5 X-OS: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2015 12:27:16 +0200 In-Reply-To: <500058978.590533.1436606574412.JavaMail.open-xchange@app2.ox.privateemail.com> (info@danieleparisi.me's message of "Sat, 11 Jul 2015 05:22:54 -0400 (EDT)") Message-ID: <87bnfj56rf.fsf@gnu.org> User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.5 (gnu/linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: Error: Malformed IPv6 address (bad octet value).
