1: Ok so first of all....when I connect to my school network and login to their domain, i get kicked out in about 5-10 minutes. Dunno why... but can anyone give a logical explanation to this?
I thought about maybe the MAC address getting banned, or maybe i just loose connection because of weak signal.
Or maybe it's because the authentication didn't pass and i got access anyway, and then maybe the connection "expired". Anyway suggestions would be nice. Maybe someone has experienced something similar.
I don't have the problem when out in town wardriving, only in school, where i actually need it.
2: Ok so issue number two. I have been working on making the laptop more safe. So I added
macchanger -a eth0
to /etc/rc.local to "change" the MAC address, thus giving it a new address every time i started the lappy.
and it works perfect for that card, but if I did the same with wlan0 it would complain about the card being active or busy and that it could not change it. So I googled for some time and read around on sites. And I came up with this.
That I would add the following to rc.local
ifconfig wlan0 down
macchanger -a wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 up
Now, this was a success at first I thought, since it actually changed the MAC when I started the computer. The problem was that now I couldn't even connect to the school network, or even find a signal, it would just stay on 0% signal strength when I was like 5 meters from the antenna.
Anyway, that's about it for my questions =) if anyone has answers then I would be happy to receive them

I have found the answer myself ^^
1: The administrator mentioned "you are not member of the domain", which was pretty stupid of him. I'm going to start collect MAC addresses tomorrow from authenticated computers ^^
2: Apparently the OS sets the WLAN0 connected to the original address at start, and if I change the MAC after that, it looses that connection and the address becomes invalid.
