Permanently change MAC address on Libra 2
I've never been able to access WiFi in Marriott hotels from my Libra 2. There is something broken with the portal -- I believe either broken SSL or something with DNS -- that makes it impossible to get through the authentication process. But I've found a workaround -- authenticate with another device, then change the Libra's MAC address to match the other device. I have the following script runnable from Nicklemenu:
Code:
#!/bin/sh ip link set dev wlan0 down ip link set dev wlan0 address (MAC here) ip link set dev wlan0 up I tried adding a similar line to /etc/udhcpc.d/default.script but it's still not "sticking". Does anyone know how to make this change permanent, or at least have it take effect whenever WiFi comes up? |

Maybe you could add a Wi-Fi toggle to NickelMenu that also runs your script?

Yes, the local library WiFi doesn't work with any ereader (Kindle and Kobo tried). Probably every library in Ireland is using the same stupid web page where you login in with your browser using your library user ID. It ought to be an anonymous local password for the WiFi point. The browser based Wifi authentications are horrible.
