I've attached a script that you should try.

dear list,
I am operating a Netgear WAG311 (Atheros AR5212) under FBSD 5.3 Release.
I tried to change the MAC address of the device using
root# ifconfig ath0 ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
which changed the MAC address in the ifconfig ath0 output. But
wicontrol -i ath0 still showed the old (original) MAC address and
that MAC address also is being used on the network.
Trying to change the MAC address using
root# wicontrol -i ath0 -m aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
results in a
wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Invalid Argument
error message.
Am I doing something wrong?
TIA

Well, thanks for the script, BUT as I wrote ifconfig is working.
The misunderstanding was probably cause by me not explicitly pointing
out that aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff stands for a real MAC (00:01:f4:xx:yy:zz)
and is not to be taken literally. SORRY!
Again, ifconfig is working and the MAC changes in the ifconfig output
... athough the card doesn't honour the change and keeps on using the
old (original) MAC. wicontrol dosn't even hounour the change in its
output and keeps displaying the Old (original) MAC. And trying to change
the MAC using wicontrol results in the error wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN:
Invalid Argument.
