i've got the above router, want to change the hard-coded mac address.
currently do it by firmware option that sets nvram, but want to change it permanantly.
looking at cfe, there's a default netgear mac address (that's the same in a cfe from wnr834) - but i can't find the actuall mac address that the router is burned with.
(i searched the whole cfe in hex and ascii for the strings)
any thoughts?
do i use the 'burnethermac 001122334455' command?
how does this work for the lan, wan, and radio macs?
thank in advance...

I have no hands on with that router but typically netgear units have one or more partitions on the flash chip that contain the data. It is not stored in nvram, the cfe, or kernel.
I'm sure there is a data dump and boot log posted somewhere here on the forum. The boot log will tell you the name, location, and size of the partition. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]
