    Extract the attached file change-mac-address.zip.

    FTP change-mac-address file to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/

    Do not forget to make this file executable (755 permissions) Telnet command - chmod 755 change-mac-address

    The new mac address will take effect after rebooting, and subsequent rebooting or network restarting with remote will not revert the mac address back to the original one.

    IMPORTANT: the file name with this script CANNOT have extension .sh, i.e, if the file is named change-mac-address.sh - then it will not work!!!

    All the files in that directory are run as scripts at a proper time if they have execution rights, as long as their names do not end with .sh !!!


    Or install the change-mac-address_e2-all.ipk

    Hi, it doesn't work, i tested the system on 2 different images and it doesn't work, all you get to do is run out of network at all and have to reflash, for me the best method to change the mac address is with the first generation Stalker Ziko, there it always works ....

    Hi All,

    i need to change my vuplus mac adress. i tried menu/setup/network/device/wlan connection/network mac settings but it always fails.

    Code
    It is very simple, menu, system, network, change Mac address, reboot.(Lan, no Wlan)

    i think the above happens from a mistake in commands inside the file...


    Code
    ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:1D:EC:00:2E:CF
#ifconfig eth0 up

    the "eth0 up" command has a # and does not run...

    before reboot try to remove this

    Hello everyone and my thanks to Master G for this post, I finally managed to make it work by tinkering a bit and it's true that it's going by itself....Greetings....
