MAC address spoofing with custom ROM?

[Guest professordes]

Can I spoof/change the wifi MAC address successfully with the Modaco ROM?

I can apparently set things up with:

ifconfig tiwlan0 down

ifconfig tiwlan0 hw ether NEWADDRESS

ifconfig tiwlan0 up

and even put in a default route:

route add default gw ADDRESS

so netstat -r returns what looks like the same result as the "real" MAC address.

However, no IP packets are going through......(the new address is definitely allowed by the router).

I wasn't sure if something was also necessary with wpa_supplicant too.

I have to question why you want or need to spoof your MAC address? Very dubious!

Er, why? Suppose I had MAC filtering on my home router, had used up the available slots and didn't wish to delete any of the existing addresses, for instance? I can do this on any Linux or OSX desktop or laptop.
