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

zheyu
