Hello, I think I have a bit of an odd issue here. I’ve run piaware for months now as normal usually setup on an uninterruptible power supply with the other network gear. Naturally this means the one time I would have a breaker trip in my house was when it wasn’t hooked into the UPS while I was working on other projects.
So here’s what I’ve got, I set my router to reserve DHCP 192.168.1.121 via the raspi’s MAC address. Once I unplugged and re-plugged in the raspberry pi, I have a new IP address assigned because the MAC address changed! How this even happened I do not understand…
So I figured it was time to set a static IP on the raspi itself anyway, and tried the following added to /boot/piaware-config.txt
wired-network yes
wired-type static
wired-address 192.168.1.121
wired-netmask 255.255.255.0
wired-broadcast 192.168.2.255
wired-gateway 192.168.2.254
force-macaddress B8:27:EB:D6:62:69
I figured this would restore the proper IP and MAC address and all would be normal. After a reboot the ip address as it should be, but the MAC address remains different and is therefore not recognized as my original ADSB feeder.
I later added
allow-dhcp-duid no
but this seems to have no effect. Did my sudden power failure corrupt something? What else can I do to get my feeder recognized properly again, or did something happen and I need to reinstall the Piaware .img (gosh I hope not)…
if it helps, here’s the output of my ifconfig:
