Has anyone on this board had any success in changing there wifi MAC address on there captivate? I have read that I need to add a line to my nvram.txt

Hello
Is it possible to change mac adress of wifi card in touch diamond/pro?
I was looking in registry but haven't found anything related with.
You can't change the MAC address without new Hardware AFAIK.
You can try spoofing it if you need to, but I don't know if there is any WM MAC spoofing software out there.

Is there an easy way to change the MAC address on a Tilt? I ran across a thread for the 8525 that had a (rather involved) method for hex editing a ROM, which I could do if necessary, but if there's a nice utilty for changing on the fly I would love to know...
Ok, so this link is the one I had seen before, would the same procedure work? I assume the offests would be different...
Does anyone know how to spoof the MAC address on a Captivate. I can't seem to find the nvram.txt file anywhere, or if there is another way I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Why would you?
Cuz im testing my network at home, and I want to see if it shows my new MAC address.
Only thing I can think of is enabling mock locations in development, but i'm not sure if that involves MAC addresses.

The mac addres is associated with your net adapter, meaning its (or should be) unique and exclusive.
In theory, two devices cant have the same mac address. Furthermore, in most countries, its illegal to change the mac of a device, and it must be done by modding the hardware.
Are you sure your router isnt giving the same IP to both phones? That could be a possible error.
It is easy to change it:
Search nvram.txt (should be in /etc/wifi/ or something) and set permissions that you can edit it. Edit "macaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" as you want and save. After it set permissions to default (note down before edit) and reboot. Done!
Everytime I used any mac address changer it just revert back to normal/can't change. Does someone know to change it?
1) I don't know if there is a way, you can Google it
2) why would you even want that??

MAC address = Media Access Control address
Kind of physical address of your device.
This unique address is given by the manufacturer who got a special address range/area from the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).
So it is something a user should not be able to change.
Maybe you mixed it up with a different type of address
