Re: [Xen-API] [MirageOS-devel] cubie2 arm image loses mac

Beaten to it by Dave.

While we're taking about api on cubie, trying to install xe-unikernel-upload wants me to downgrade an awful lot of packages. I really don't want to downgrade from mirage 2.5 to 2.1 - whats the best way of tackling this?

Cheers

Not sure if it's related, but when I tried customising my network
settings I had various network problems that were fixed by 'apt-get
purge xapi-xe xcp-networkd'. I didn't have time to look into the cause
properly, but I think xcp-networkd fights with the OS for control of
the network settings if you're not careful (try "xe pif-list
params=all"). Probably one of the xapi people can explain what it's up
to, if so.

I've not seen that myself, but perhaps someone on the xen-api list (cc:d) could come up with a theory?

Cheers,
