I am trying to set up ethernet on my de2 board following the above website. It says: Ethernet hw address Every ehternet port should have a unique ethernet hardware mac address, usually assigned by vendor. You should use "ifconfig" to set hw address in user space before you use the ethernet interface[/color] How do i find this RohiniLink Copied

As you _are_ the vendor here, you are responsible of finding an appropriate MAC address.
You can by clusters of them from ISO but this is very expensive, so I suppose you need to find someone who is willing to offer you a bunch of unique addresses that he does not intend to use. -Michael- Mark as New

If you don't want to sell the device publicly, you can use any MAC address you want It just needs to be different from any other used in your environment. Just take one randomly.
