Re: [lwip-users] Re: Restarting lwip/ethernet

[address@hidden]

Technically, the MAC is only stored in netif->hwaddr and only used from 
the ARP, DHCP and AutoIP modules (aside from maybe your netif driver and 
SNMP). So you might get what you want by stopping both DHCP and AutoIP 
and then just changing netif->hwaddr.

I did not test this though! Also, care must be taken the netif->hwaddr 
is not accessed (e.g. by receiving packets) while you change it.
