Hello, I have a problem with this driver when I change the mac, it allows me change it,with macchanger:
ifconfig wlan0 down
macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan0
But when I put wirelesscard up and verify the mac, is again the original.

# This file contains the configuration settings for network interfaces.
# If USE_DHCP[interface] is set to "yes", this overrides any other settings.
# If you don't have an interface, leave the settings null ("").
# You can configure network interfaces other than eth0,eth1... by setting
# IFNAME[interface] to the interface's name. If IFNAME[interface] is unset
# or empty, it is assumed you're configuring eth<interface>.
# Several other parameters are available, the end of this file contains a
# comprehensive set of examples.
# Config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]=""
NETMASK[0]=""
USE_DHCP[0]=""

IFNAME is also uncommented twice. Personally, I would define your wireless interface parameters in the first block, i.e. the '0' block - just copy and paste all the stuff you need - then leave all the example stuff commented out. Makes it easier to figure out what options you enabled.
I've never used macchanger before but I haven't had too many problems changing MAC addresses. I suppose it depends on the driver. I use iwl3945 now but I could never do it on ipw3945, if I remember correctly. This probably won't get you anywhere but it's easy to test.
Code:
# ifconfig wlan0 down
# ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
# ifconfig wlan0 up
It works until "ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55", but when I write "ifconfig wlan0 up" the change is lost and the MAC again is the original of wirelesscard.
