Spoofing your MAC address
Many ISP's use the MAC adress of a NIC to check if it's the correct card. For instance to check if it's the one they gave/sold to you.
This poses a problem if you want to use a different card then theirs. Luckily with FREESCO you can change the default adress by 'spoofing' it.
In /mnt/router/rc/rc_net add the following line just before the interface is brought 'up':
ifconfig $INTNAME0 hw ether 00:80:AD:83:8A:55
Doing so the complete script code should look like this:
ifconfig $INTNAME0 hw ether 00:80:AD:83:8A:55 ifconfig $INTNAME0 up if [ $? = 0 ]; then if [ "$USEDHCP0" = y ]; then if [ "$DHCPLOG" = y ]; then DHCPLOG="-d"; else DHCPLOG=""; fi |
00:80:AD:83:8A:55 is of course just a sample MAC address.
