Hi,
I have made a patch to version 0.5.3 to add support to configure the
interface MAC address (for the case when a TAP interface is selected).
My motivations were:
1. enable IP address static assignment based on MAC address (for this
purpose the MAC address must be fixed, and not changed for each new
connection);
2. avoid network traffic being filtered by firewalls that apply MAC
filtering rules.
I have successfully tested this code in Ubuntu (kernel 2.6.35-28-generic)
and CentOS (kernel 2.6.18-238.el5xen) operating systems.
It would be nice if you could integrate this patch in the next release.
Regards,
Marcelo Moreira
