Hi
im suffering from a strange problem - i cant change mac on my wifi card.

what i am doing:
modprobe rt61
iwconfig ra0 ap 00:40:CA:45:10:9C OR ifconfig ra0 hw ether 00:40:CA:45:10:9C

it doesnt work. Old mac is shown when exec ifconfig

i tried to modify sources:

into rtmp_init.c i cnahged line pAd->bLocalAdminMAC = FALSE; //TRUE;
bLocalAdminMAC was set to 'true'
after that every time i changed mac, new mac was 00:00:00:00:00:00

then i found program 'macchanger'
but it doesnt work =(

help me pls

First off, iwconfig isn't even intended to change your interface's MAC. It specifies the MAC of the access point you want to connect to.

Secondly, not all devices CAN have their MAC address changed. Some (including one of mine) horribly fail to work until a reboot if you try that. From looking at the rt61 driver, it's almost certainly not intended to change MACs.

Why do you need to change your MAC address?

cos mac-filtering is used in my network

well. finally i got how-to change mac, i found init code in rtmp_init.c

search "// RT2660 MAC no longer auto load MAC address from E2PROM. Driver has to intialize
// MAC address registers according to E2PROM setting"

then you have to change lines containing source:
pAd->PermanentAddress[0] = (UCHAR)(Addr01 & 0xff);
pAd->PermanentAddress[1] = (UCHAR)(Addr01 >> 8);
pAd->PermanentAddress[2] = (UCHAR)(Addr23 & 0xff);
pAd->PermanentAddress[3] = (UCHAR)(Addr23 >> 8);
pAd->PermanentAddress[4] = (UCHAR)(Addr45 & 0xff);
pAd->PermanentAddress[5] = (UCHAR)(Addr45 >> 8);

new code must be similar to this:

pAd->PermanentAddress[0] = 0x00;
pAd->PermanentAddress[1] = 0x80;
pAd->PermanentAddress[2] = 0x48;
pAd->PermanentAddress[3] = 0x25;
pAd->PermanentAddress[4] = 0xF9;
pAd->PermanentAddress[5] =0x9F;

your new mac is 00:80:48:25:F9:9F (look at the and of each line, array (from 0 to 5) contains parts of mac)
