dear list,
I am operating a Netgear WAG311 (Atheros AR5212) under FBSD 5.3 Release.
I tried to change the MAC address of the device using
root# ifconfig ath0 ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
which changed the MAC address in the ifconfig ath0 output. But wicontrol
-i ath0 still showed the old (original) MAC address and that MAC address
also is being used on the network.
Trying to change the MAC address using
root# wicontrol -i ath0 -m aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
results in a
wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Invalid Argument
error message.
Am I doing something wrong?
TIA
zheyu
