#1882: athX has incorrect mac address. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: anonymous | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: minor Component: madwifi: other | Version: Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0 ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Hi all, when I boot my computer my wifi card has the correct mac address:
ifconfig | grep -a HW ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:AF:67:96:24 wifi0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-15-AF-67-96-24-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 Now if I destroy and put ath0 in monitor mode the following happens: ifconfig ath0 down wlanconfig ath0 destroy wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor ifconfig | grep -a HW ath0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 06-15-AF-67-96-24-40-E2-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 wifi0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-15-AF-67-96-24-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 In managed mode it shows this: ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 06:15:AF:67:96:24 wifi0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-15-AF-67-96-24-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 The two addresses are different, this prevents me from connecting to anything with a mac filter. I've read a previous ticket from a guy who has the same problem (mac address starts 06). I'm not entirely sure whether or not this is a bug, I've submitted this to a couple of forums and most of them have stated that it sounds driver related.
