The way I'd debug this (without being a developer) is: * get another laptop with say an ath card; * put that interface into monitor mode; * tcpdump -vveni wlan0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO | grep -v Beacon Then try associating to the access point and see what station MAC it's sending in its packets. adrian On 29 March 2011 14:38, Doug Barton <dougb@freebsd.org> wrote: > For a variety of boring reasons I need to clone a mac address on wlan0.
