[KERNEL][CM7/SENSE][GSM/CDMA] Kernel with mac spoof capabilities

---

I added functionality to the bcm4329 driver, which allows you to spoof your mac address quite easy.

The driver wil try to open /data/local/mac.dat and read the mac address from there.

So if you want eg. your mac address to be 00:41:41:41:41:41 you do this via a shell:

busybox echo -e \\x00\\x41\\x41\\x41\\x41\\x41 > /data/local/mac.dat

After changing this file you need to stop/start your wireless connection so that the driver reads the new mac address from the file.

If you want your original mac address back, just delete the file.

I'm planning to create a simple app for changing the mac without using the shell.

I'll upload the changes i did to github asap

Comment and bug reports are welcome !

Update 25/08/2012: Added Sense kernel, this is gingercakes v0.9 avs GSM

Ps: zip's are not signed !

Spoof your wireless mac address ...

thanks, i will try it tomorrow after flashing a cm7.

yeah it works. first really working method for me.
tested some mac-spoof-apps before on bravo but they didn't work at all.
the only thing i don't understand: why there is no interest at all in this modification?

that's good in airports, where they give you only 15 minutes free, change the mac and start over.
good ideea

Could you possibly do this for the CDMA CM7 Kernel?

Is this just a build from CM7 source with just the addition of the mac spoof capabilities? Or has it some other improvements?
Thanks for the work... but I'd like to see it in ManU kernels as they give me much better performance and battery life than original CM

The changes are in my github. Cant be much work merging them into manu
