It's a so-so method to keep some privacy, or crack around.
Edit /etc/init.d/wl1251-init
Under
Code:
# restore phy related LED triggers (they come from mac80211.ko)
if [ -e /sys/class/leds/ ] ; then
for led in /sys/class/leds/* ; do
trigger=$(grep "$(basename $led)" /etc/default/leds | grep phy | \
awk '{print $2}' | sed -e 's/.*phy[0-9]*\(.*\)/\1/')
if [ "x$trigger" != "x" ] ; then
echo "phy${phy_idx}$trigger" > "$led/trigger"
fi
done
fi
Add (and change the MAC address):
Code:
# change MAC adress
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
ifconfig wlan0 up
For permanently setting usb0 (in case you do networking via USB-cable), you can modify /etc/network/interfaces as root. If you need more info on that (which I suppose to be unlikely), then let me know or search the internet for that file and search-terms like "usb0" and "mac".
I haven't tried it with wlan0, but it can be configured there too. There is a note though that it explicitly was commented out, because it slows down NetworkManager. Maybe this refers only to some of the out-commented settings.Try it if you like.
