Change WLAN MAC adddress

Hi,
Where I work I've access to the WLAN with my LPT. The WLAN is configured with MAC address access list.
Is it possible to change the MAC Address of my P3600 to access the WLAN?
Thanks
Sbay

No absolutely not possible. You should let your mac adress added to the network.

hello, i don't see the MAC address in settings and the wi-fi doesn't turn on now.
What can i do?????
Help!
and, as i enter in bootloader, after USB i read in Red: WLAN ERROR.
what can i do??

Even if it were possible to change the MAC address, which can be done for your laptop, your employer obviously has a reason for not having the WiFi open to all who have the WEP/WPA key and circumventing this may well not be looked on favourably. Best suggestion is to register your PDA with the IT department so it works without hacking anything

yah
I do agree with deedee

Did someone find the solution to restore WLAN EEPROM?

I have almost the same problem...
I have flashed WM6.5 ROM, then decided to return to native WM5.0 ROM. In bootloader there was the same error.

But my device was flashed successfully. After that Wi-Fi was dead
Reflashing does not help... Wi-Fi is as cold as a key

[Q] solution for wifi conflict

My brother and I have two HD2 devices
but when we use the wifi in the android at the same time
a kind of conflict occurred and the last one who turn the wifi on can use the internet and the other is disconnected
so, is it kind of ip problem and how to solve it?

just to be sure: I guess when both are in WinMo all is working fine?

yes
yes they work great

I'm not a dev btw, just curious, sorry about bringing your hopes up
I searched some here as well as elsewhere, because I've read somewhere, a while ago something about changing the designated IP adress of the phone.
It sounds to me your router is try to give the phones the same IP. You could check the router for that. I'd first try and give each MAC adress a designated IP (a different one ofc).
Damn, I'm sure there's a post somewhere here about this, just can't find it...

Just found this:
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8360637
In short: it's the MAC adress which is the same on the phones. You could try different build, but start with the mentioned thread first
This must be it:
"The only fix so far is run different kernels. That's what I've been doing."
and

Thanksssssssssssssssssssss
I really appreciate your efforts
as long as there is a solution somewhere here i will try to find it

Good!
Always willing to help
I surely hope it'll work!

I'm sure the problem is that you both use the same Mac address. Maybe the new desire hd & z use the original Mac address. So you both use the same android build and also use wifi

hi
are u have that file for fixing mac address?
if u have it upload here .that link have problem

To do this, you need superuser app and terminal. You also need to know your true wireless mac address.
1) open terminal and type su
2) type ifconfig eth0 hw ether [mac address]
This should change your mac address, but you have to do this every time you reboot.

by this way can i change mac address from 00:90:4c:c5:00:34 to 00:11:22:33:44:55 ?
and i do that and any happening?

If you return it back to 00:11:22:33:44:55 will return that mac address. If there's 2 people with hd2 and an android rom will encounter a conflict because both will have 00:11:22:33:44:55.

Thanks for that cma. Is it possible to make this into a script which could then perhaps be run at startup?

I don't know how this could be done at startup because you need wifi activated first before running it.

Can you write how we must put the wifi mac address;
Do we need [ ] and : between the numbers; I am trying with both ways,but nothing changes

i've only used it on stock 2.1, miniCM and froyobread haven't tried a 2.3 ROM so can't comment but 2.1 and 2.2 work.

I also can't get my X8 working with Barnacle. Its an E51i running official (rooted) 2.1 update 1 build 2.1.1.A.0.6 My netbook PC is running windows 7 starter.
Barnacle installs okay and when started the PC sees the nework but gets stuck 'identifying barnacle' and says no network access.
I've found a load of info regarding the X10 elsewhere on this forum:
For the phone:
1. Install Barnacle
2. Make sure wifi is off then open the app, push the menu button and select "settings"
3. Scroll to the bottom, click the DHCP
4. Click "DNS 1 (optional)" and set it to 8.8.8.8 (as stated on page 1 of this post)
5. Push the back button
6. Click on the "WAN" and set it to "rmnet0" (without quotes)
7. Click on the "LAN" and set it to "athwlan0" (without quotes)
DO NOT PUSH THE "START" BUTTON
Thats it for the phone side but if you want to do some extras, you can change the "port" in the NAT section and "gateway" in the DHCP section.
For the PC:
If you know how to view your connections, skip to step 3.
Windows XP Users:
(I'm on my Win7 netbook at work using the x10 wifi as we speak, not XP, so ill try to get this correct)
1. Click the "Start" button (or press the windows key), click on Control Panel
2. Click on "Network Connections"
For Vista/7 Users:
1. Click the "Start" button (or press the windows key)
2. Type "view network connectons" (no quotes) and press enter when it stops loading
For All Users:
3. Right click on your wireless connection and click "Properties"
4. In the box towards the middle of the Properties you should see "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", double click it to open its properties
5. At the bottom, click the "Use the following DNS server addresses:" and set it to 8.8.8.8 (to match the phone)
6. Click "Ok" on both Property windows
Thats it. You should now be able to click the "Start" in the Barnacle app and connect. If your still not getting internet but are connected to the phone with your pc's wifi, run thru the steps again for the PC but while being connected.

But I can't get any combo of these settings to work on my X8 and I haven't been able to find any real answers in this or other X8 specific threads. So can anyone provide some step-by-step noob-proof instructions, like those above but for the X8?

um okay ignore my previous post - I left my phone switched off for a few minutes and rebooted it and barnacle is working fine. I used the settings as outlined above, with a five-character WEP key

God! look at those neons at topic "WITH THAT UGLY CAPS LOCK", and I can't say it's better than your name...
As a user said before, tether doesn't work natively due to kernel limitations, with problems as yours I would advice to test another rom, or Full wipe / Fix permissions in xrec.

7. Click on the "LAN" and set it to "athwlan0" (without quotes)
in this step....i have some problems
when i click Start, it show:
Data network is ready
.int file prepared
WIFI: driver loaded
WIFI: Could not set address of athwlan0 No such device
DHCP: Could not get address of athwlan0: No such device
WIFI: Could not get flags of athwlan0: No such device
NAT: waiting for local Interface
Stopped unexpectedly!

AFAIK tether is only working with android 2.2 or above

I have used Barnacle on 2.1 droid and with 13 char WEP only letters.
I have problems with it on 2.2 ROMs tho... problems with connecting to the ad-hoc its creating.

works for me in CM 1.0.0/1.0.1, and FB... have set a 10-char WEP key. not sure if this helps but make sure your WiFi is OFF when u launch barnacle

100% working wpa_supplicant for galaxy s2 ad hoc mod for gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4

hello friends
today i m showing you a 100 percent working wpa_supplicant for galaxy s2 gingerbread rom for ad hoc network. yes it is test by me and also this is modified by me too. no one is responcible and cant take credit for developing it. currently i m using and testing on litening rom 6.1 and it works flawlessly. so no more wait for new wpa supplicant. becoz wait is over now. use it and reply me about ny bugs. i will try to revamp it. bye
download attachment and use it
if u like my work then plz donate me on my paypal account
[email protected]
and plz reply thanks

This is great!!! Tested on my galaxy SGS1 and works perfectly!
Thanks!!!
Edit: i can connect only if i set my ad-hoc network unproteced. If i add wpa2 or even wep security the phone gets stuck on "Obtaining IP address...", but it could be my ubuntu notebook.

Awsome sauce!!! Been waiting for this. Downloading and testing it now on my SG1.
Thanks
edit: just realised it is not a CWM flashable zip. Where do I put this?
edit2: figured out where to put it so dont worry. Cannot obtain IP address though on an unsecured ADHOC network.

what is this ?

It alows your phone to use your laptop/desktops internet connection. Create an ad-hoc wireless network on your laptop/desktop and then search for that network on your phone connect and voila your phone should now use the interent through your laptop/desktop.
I like it cos it means I can use my internet connection at work instead of 3g.

SGS2 on lite'ning v4.2 (2.3.4)
Open: 'obtaining IP' loop
WEP: 'obtaining IP' loop
WPA: [no connection]

it is not cwm file. first u have to unzip it then copy and paste this on system/bin folder on ur rooted gs1 and gs2.but this will work perfectly on gingerbread 2.3.4

hi haymzee
you should use litening rom ver 6.1 not 4.2 otherwise it will not work correctly.so first update ur rom in 6.1 and then use this wpa file ok

OH YES! will test and report; long awaited!

I can connect in the morning but after turn airplane mode on-off, then I can't connect till now.
It shows obtaining IP address, even I try to re-boot both phone. T_T

Hello everyone,
I finally managed to solve the problem of connections
thanks

hi to everybody,
thank you for your work!!!!!!! is perfect!!!!

hi,
i'm running LeoMar75 Revolution 2.6, and this wpa_ did not pass obtainig ip loop.
neither wit unprotected or wep protected adhoc network

Hello, how did you manage to solve the looping 'Obtaining IP address.." problem ?

Also got the same problem of Obtaining IP address. I tried many configurations of changing the ip address manually with static ip address settings

Its working perfectly on our rom.
10 char will b built in in the next release
For all noobs:
Use root explorer
Unzip and put the file in system/bin
Reboot
Done.
Now test
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

I use LogMeIn.apk

any solution for GB 2.3.5 ???

I've tried ad hoc on 4 different laptops and it only worked on the newer ones

I can confirm this works 100%. I tethered the internet connection on my Macbook Air with the phone using AdHoc Wifi successfully.
