Same issue as Boomer here. Same computer/Airport Card. I’ve tried both lladdr and ether. After the successful change of MAC address it just won’t connect to any networks.

This is probably an issue with the card in the MacBook Pro then… I’m running a regular MacBook with Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.26) firmware. Not sure whether it exist an optional solution for the Atheros chipset… I can’t really test that here at the moment. Would be nice if anyone who figures it out let me know though

I’ve encountered similar difficulties Boomer is mentioning as recently as today, 28 Feb 2010. Seems I have a configuration similar to his…late ‘07 MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard and same Airport card. I’d thought I’d cracked the nut with the hint suggesting disconnecting from an AP, but leaving Airport turned “On”, when attempting the mac spoof, but so far I’ve been unsuccessful.

Has there since been a resolution to the problem Boomer and I are mentioning? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I’m eager to be able to surf the web, d/l music, etc. with my own laptop at work. I do have a corporate laptop in my office connected to the corporate secured network, but it’s to be used for work, only, and our corporate wireless signal is too weak in my corner of the building. It’d be great to be able to access any one of the other APs that are in the area without a full-on advertising of my mac address in case someone gets really bent about it.

Any suggestions?

I think I’m having a problem similar to Apolo.
ifconfig en1 | grep ether
shows my mac has been successfully changed, however I am unable to connect to my router.
(my router has no mac exclusion rules). Basically wifi stops working with a spoofed mac.
If I then change it back to the original address, everything works again!

This has only started happening since upgrade to 10.6
I’m on a macbookpro, with airport extreme card, firmware Atheros 5416

Have you verified that the address have been changed to the correct one for the right interface (en1 for airport) with “ifconfig” ?

Hello guys,
I’ve done exactly what you say in the post. I’ve even try the “airport -z” method but the airport keeps trying to connect with no result.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks

I made a small applescript application for this: here.

The command he means is not on the path by default, but the program can be run by entering the path /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/
Current/Resources/airport
or by symlinking that path to /usr/bin I guess.
Some formatting problems here… remove the space in front of “Current”.
