[OpenWrt-Users] mac address

[Oriol Bosch]

Hello,
I'm realy surprised about this, it shouldn't be possible that two devices
have the same mac address. Do you have the box of the devices? The mac
address is usually written on it (I don't know the WL500GP, but for example
in Linksys boxes it is written).

Four you, the best option might be to change the mac address in a script and
load it before start the networking (int the /etc/init.d/S10mac_addr for
instance)

Well, good luck.
