We are trying out FC 5 in a classroom environment with removable hard drives and students change seats often. We are seeing MAC address conflicts when the HD is put into a different machine, interfering with interface functioning. Have not seen this behavior before. Any ideas how to turn this off?
Remove the HWADDR line from /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth*. I don't know how easy it will be to keep it from being reset, though. The hardware detector may update that field on boot.
