Changin MAC address on OS X 10.4.9

[taanim]

hi guys im havin trouble to change MAC address on OS X 10.4.9 (Intel), I have tried the following commands :-

 

ifconfig en0 lladdr 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE

and

ifconfig en0 ether 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE

 

it accepts the command but nothing changes, can anyone please help me out? is there any third party tool to change the MAC address??

 

Thanks in advanced,

Salman.

MAC addresses are burned into a ROM on your network card by the manufacturer and can't be changed. Why do you need to change it anyway?

u might wanna add a sudo infront for the second command.. cos its a root level requirement..

Yes, rathalos is right. You need to enter the command like this:

sudo ifconfig en0 ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

An additional question... how can I execute this command every time during boot automatically?

Thanks

hey rathalos i dont need sudo command to get root privilege. I have changed my account to root privilege, if u issue the command #sudo passwd it will give u the option to change root password, so that u can use the #su - command once to get root permission using your new password. Now every time you dont need to add su for any root level command.

 

Any other solution to change the MAC address??

 

Waiting for your reply.
