Does your AP use a MAC address filter? Do a packet capture (e.g. wireshark) and actually check the MAC address being used by your wireless device to connect.Originally Posted by Phoenix09
Thats normal behaviour.
Problem to change mac address - REALTEK RTL8187b
I'm trying to change the mac address in backtrack4
I did:
ifconfig wlan0 down
macchanger -m XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
ifconfig wlan0 up
The address changes but when I try to connect to my AP does not work ... And when I restart the machine the mac address back to the original!
I did something wrong?
Please help me

Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".

I made some screenshots for you to analyze better

Since by the looks of your slideshow you are better at making screen shots, let me ask you, why are you trying to change the mac address in the first place?
There is really no need to do this. Further Showing us a picture of a your firefox not working really serves no purpose.
In addition since you probably have one card and one machine (or at least it appears so) there is no need to try and run mac changer and wireshark at the same time since one or the other is probably going to fail.
