I wish I could resolve this error in airport

running 10.6.2 and I got the same issue:
I’m able to change my MAC address using “sudo ifconfig en1 ether 00:11:22:33:44:55″ (with and without “sudo airport -z” as described above) but afterwards I can’t connect to wireless networks anymore. I’m getting timeout errors and I need to reboot before I can successfully reconnect to my wireless network.
any ideas?

echo_host : Still not working for me. Lucky you. Maybe for 10.6.3.

I have some problems with a white Macbook.
On the imac it’s all ok but not here.
I tried to dissociate the airport but I get an ! so when I change the MAC airport won’t connect anymore.
Any help?

@echo_host

thanks for the updates… here are my questions

1. after you did that, what does it show in
system preference->network->Airport->ethernet? new or original Mac address
2. after you reboot your computer, do you need to do this again? i guess the spoof Mac address is for the current session only, right??

Im running 10.6 and noticed that nothing was working, in apps or in terminal. I found out you need to disable the airport by trying to join a non existent network, then pressing cancel. Then doing the commands to change the en1 mac. Its working on my macbook pro right now. Very happy there is a fix.

Proven working fix is on this site:

here is the update to what i posted on feb 4…

i typed ’sudo ifconfig en1 lladdr 00:25:11:4f:33:22′

now i see 00:25:11:4f:33:22 in my wireless router under attached devices, however, i still see the OLD mac address in system preference->network->Airport->ethernet ??

can anyone explain this??

hi Chromeo…

i tried your steps, see below, and it seems to work. however i have a couple of questions…

–> sudo ln -s /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport/usr/sbin/airport
–> sudo airport -z
–> ifconfig en0 | grep ether
ether d4:9a:21:03:26:5e

1. when i look system preferences->network->airport->ethernet, is still shows
my original Mac Address. is this normal?
2. after i rebooted the machine, the Mac address remains as the new one. is
this because this has been set permanently? the only way to go back to
the original Mac Address is issue this comment again
— sudo ifconfig en0 lladdr 00:00:00:00:00:00

thanks!!

Also, when I ping myself on en1 or en0 it comes back with default ethernet.

Question, when I try these commands and various combinations of them: en0 etc., it doesn’t seem to apply. When I grep ether it tells me what i input, but when I check system preferences it’s the same ethernet. I’ve tried this command in root and superuser. Help please?
