[SOLVED]Wlan Changing MAC

Post by ayu »

Ok so this is starting to annoy me to be honest ^^

I can change MAC on the regular card with macchanger easily.

But it's another story when it comes to the WLAn card, i have a card that uses ndiswrapper, and macchanger doesn't work

So i tried with

ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <mac>
ifconfig wlan0 up

and that doesn't work either.



Then i tried with changing the MAC in the ndiswrapper config file for my driver, nothing happened there either.


Does someone know of any other method that might work?

hm, pretty hard to say what's the reason...best is to check the kernel log because the problem most likely is caused in the interface between driver and kernel.
so post the output for:

Code: Select all

dmesg | tail
if you get no output you can find the same info in /var/log/syslog

please post both using codeviewer...
:wink:

no need to post the whole syslog, best run

Code: Select all

modprobe ndiswrapper
and post the last part of the syslog... :wink:
