I'm working on a driver to talk to DEC equipment over ethernet and I need to
be able to change the enet controller's address.  There is an ioctl,
SIOCSENADDR, which is supposed to do this.  It works just fine for an IOC
based controller but when the same call is made for an IOP controller things
go straight down the toilet.  The system will xmit packets with a strange
source address but refuses to receive ANY packets.

I called RTOC and they said "We don't talk about DEC around here".  They
refused to admit to any problem.

Does anyone in netland have any experience with/ideas about this situation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
