[Bala]

Hi All,
       We have build and installed OFED-1.1 on
RHEL-4 machine, using ipoib we set the IPs
for the interface and able to ping each other,
but my ifconfig shows ib0 MAC address as
shown below
"00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00"

--------------
ib0       Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr
00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255 
Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:2044

pls let me know is it normal, is there any way
to get the real hw/mac address.

regards,
Bala.
