Is it possible to change the MAC ADDR of Hermes?

[zatxer]

Hello to all,

Currently McDonalds provided a free wifi for 20mins for each device
Is it possible to change my MAC ADDRRESS of my PPC to enjoy other 20mins?

and I'd search for some old post...
is that the MAC stored in the wifi chip's and there's nothing to do with the registry,
The only possible way is to change the original drivers ?

thankyou :)

PS. My Hermes is running WM5

There is some discussion regarding changing the MAC address of the Hermes using a custom mode controller for the TIACXWLN driver. Check out this thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309859).
Since I haven't found the time to try downgrading to WM5 to test the older driver out, would you be so kind as to help test a theory of mine by installing the custom mode controller to you device to see if you can set a custom MAC address and/or set promiscuous mode? The file can be downloaded for free and is located at the bottom of AlexB's website found here (http://winm-soft.atspace.com/).
Once you download and install the .cab, the program can be found in
"/program files/custom controller/tiacxwln_ctrl.exe"
Enable WIFI in your com manager and execute this program. Let us know if you can successfully set your MAC address or enable promiscuous mode.
Cheers and good luck

Does not for work me on my WM5 Hermes. I get the same error messages as you.
