 |
|
I'm trying to change the mac address on my wireless NIC however when i do
| Code: |
$ ifconfig eth1 down hw ether 11:22:33:44:55
SIOCSIFHWADDR: Too many open files in system
|
I tried installed macchanger too and it has the same problems. I even tried putting mac_eth1 in my conf.d for net and it fails too. Any ideas how to fix this? This is on a bcm4315 wireless nic.
Thanks,
Daum |

| Code: | | ip link set eth1 address 00:11:22:33:44:55 |
