FreeBSD gateway.motoka 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #0: Sat Feb 26 00:13:32 AMT 2011     root@gateway.motoka:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PIETRA  i386
>Description:
After install the new FreeBSD 8.2 the network card don't show mac address in ifconfig command.
vr0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=82808<VLAN_MTU,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE>
        ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
>How-To-Repeat:
Just install FreeBSD 8.2 in a computer with network card vr0 (VIA network card).
>Fix:
I solved the problem by adding the commands in /etc/rc.local:
ifconfig vr0 ether 00:14:2a:d4:93:dc

I do not know how to solve otherwise

State-Changed-Why:  
Would you show me full dmesg(8) output of your box? 
vr(4) was not touched for a long time so what is the last known 
FreeBSD release that used to get correct station address on your 
vr(4) controller? 

BTW, the FreeBSD's way to change the station address of controller 
is to create a file in /etc directory with name 
start_if.$INTERFACE_NAME. In other words, create a file with 
/etc/start_if.vr0 and put the following content into the file. 

# 
ifconfig vr0 ether 00:01:02:03:04:05 

These entries are read by sh(1) and executed before configuring 
the interface. See rc.conf(5) for more information.
