Hi all I've searched the list archives and haven't found a solution to this problem. This worked under 3.8 but appears broken under 3.9. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or leaving a step out?
Here's the relevant dmesg output for my wifi card. It's an Enterasys branded hermes card/orinico silver. wi0 at pcmcia0 function 0 "Cabletron, RoamAbout 802.11 DS, Version 01.01" port 0xa000/64 wi0: Firmware 6.04 variant 1, address 00:01:f4:ee:XX:XX I can get a dhcp lease with dhclient wi0 just fine. The problem arises when I use 'ifconfig wi0 lladdr' to change the MAC address. Once I change the mac address I seem to lose connectivity, can't ping the router and can't get a dhcp lease. dstumbler shows the access point. If I change the mac address back to the original, everything works fine. I noticed in the 3.9 changelog that mac addresses were changed in the card now, is that related to my issue? Do I need to update the firmware if possible, is this a bug, or am I just doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
