h9s se mac adress change

[urie]

Hi,
thank you very much for all of you for your help;and specialy to TWOL
i have finally changed my mac adress after i have used ethernet conexion .but this is impossible with wifi.
i hope there will be a solution for wifi conexion in the future,because i would like to use my reciever with wifi since the router is far from my reciever.

buy a set of homeplugs

@illias28 - so I have code now to change teh Mac address for a WiFi connection(still have to test), but as I have now found out (!), there is one MAC Address for the wired (Ethernet) connection and a second MAC for the wireless connection.
The WiFi Mac address is also much longer than the Lan Mac address - so not sure you can swap them - (maybe linked somehow to WiFi password)
... and I am guessing that you have given your supplier the Lan Mac address - as that is the one displayed currently

So changing the WiFi Mac address may not help you.

Anyway I will finish testing code and then post for you to try if you want to do this.

Mac address for wired and wireless is exactly the same length

root@zgemmah9twin:~# ifconfig

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1D:EC:xx:xx:xx

wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:EE:2A:xx:xx:xx

I can also test this when you have it ready.

Thanks - yes when I check in the debug log, rather than in TV, its exactly same length!
Plan to test this morning then post the change to test

Hi TWOL,
thank you very much for you help,could you please send your code to change mac adress for wifi

[twol]

I am still testing, …….. a few issues.

@ALL ... attached are 2 module changes for testing the WiFi MAC reset.
I would suggest that everyone who tests this, runs a settings backup beforehand .... as far as I can see it should be OK, but ..........
So to test.
Please enable debug logs... Menu/setup/system/log/settings ---- enable and save to hdd not flash
Restart.

1. putty - login (root and user password) and then type init 4 (space between)
2. filezilla.
in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components rename Network.pyc to xNetwork.pyc, then copy Network.py (from attachment) to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components
in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens rename NetworkSetup.pyc to XNetworkSetup.pyc, then copy NetworkSetup.py (from attachments) to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens

3. putty - enter init 6 (space between)

4. post results and debug logs

I've tried it on 6.1.003.005 (Dev), works ok as far as I can tell. Changing the mac address and rebooting remembers the new version.

Putting back the original value and wifi still works.

NB Debug logs will contain encryption keys/passwords.

My VU Ultimo4k doesn't remember wifi values (by default) after a settings restore, I needed to add /etc/wl.conf.wlan3 to backups ages ago.

ET10K wifi gets backed up ok without any need for changes.

@ccs …. Really appreciate the testing, many thanks.
does this mean we should be adding more settings to the settings backup if they are present in the image?
i rarely use the wifi connections, so no knowledge …. Thought it was backed up by default

I mentioned it when I first got the Ultimo4K (it has built in wifi), but moved over to a wired lan a few weeks later, so it kind of got forgotten.

I worked out what was needed for that specific box when trying out something using wifi, but never reported it.

The ET10K (USB dongle, RTL8192cu, it comes pre-loaded) backs up /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/wpa_supplicant.wlan0.conf. I've never added them.

They're even in a Hades backup from 7 years ago.

Hi,many thanks for your help, i will try it tonight and give you feed back.

Followed your instructions, wireless connection up on reboot.

Crashes when entering wireless device.

So you changed the MAC address, waited for the 2 messages to say network completed and then rebooted? … and then crashed after???

[ccs]

I've just tried again using the changed (new) mac address and all is ok. Also changing from wlan to lan and back again is ok.
