Hi to all.
I have a big problem.
I successfully installed the last dd-wrt release on Fonera but now I'm not able to change the defaults mac addresses.
I modified with the following command:
nvram set et0macaddr=00:05:BB:ED:AF:8C
nvram set lan_hwaddr=00:05:BB:ED:AF:8C
nvram set ath0_hwaddr=00:05:BB:ED:AF:8D
nvram set wl0_hwaddr=00:05:BB:ED:AF:8D
nvram commit
When I go in to web interface after reboot it seems good:
Router
Router Name
DD-WRT
Router Model
Fonera 2100/2200
LAN MAC
00:05:BB:ED:AF:8C
WAN MAC
Wireless MAC
00:05:BB:ED:AF:8D
WAN IP
Disabled
LAN IP
192.168.0.1
But if i try to connect with a wirelss client the wirless mac it's always the original default.
It seems that the default wirless mac it's write into the kernel or in hadcoded way.
I guess if the bootloader is on a partition, you probably will be able to retrieve its contents using a dd command, modify the contents, then use the dd command to upload to the partition to see if the MAC Addresses have changed. _________________ Mazi

I believe the atheros calibration and mac addresses are stored in an area marked off as not accessible by the bootloader.
I agree with you.
But I think that ther's must be a way to change the default mac address, it's not possibile that thers'not.
Is there some dd-wrt developper that can help me??
I remeber that when I installed the open-wrt on the linksys devices by default open-wrt changed the default mac with one that was always the same for all. _________________ http://www.wifi-ita.com/forum/
