sanjay, "I am porting settop box using 2.4.18 kernel...RTL 8139C gives mac address as ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff." Your mac address is noted in this type in ifconfig: "HWaddr 0C:AA:CC:40:3B:2F" What you noted is the broadcast address. Look for the Hwaddr line and let us know what's up. Also what do you mean you are "porting box", are you replacing another OS or doing experimental work(?) of some kind.

if your asking how to manually set the MAC ADDRESS you simply put the folling command in the ethernet adapter configuration which is found in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 on my redhat 7.0 machine:
MACADDR="00:40:05:5B:49:2F"
that will set your mac address for the ethernet card.
