Internet Access is depend on hw address

Hello

As the default setting from internet provider - Internet Access depends on MAC address(assigned by DHCP), which should be certain.
Question is simple: is there a way to automatically set required hw address upon boot ?

Presenly I have to boot to the system, kill existing dhcpcd, then set address with command :ifconfig eth0 ether hw XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

then run dhcpcd again....

any wolkarounds ?

thanks

Yes I have the same situation, I use changemac program, to change mac, its more easy than ifconfig, but there is no boot script for changemac sad

I use macchanger from the community repo. Simply

# macchanger -m 11:22:33:AA:BB eth0

Then reconnect.
If you use netcfg and netprofiles, you can add the macchanger command to the PREUP part of your profile.
Or you can just add the line to /etc/rc.local

But the same way I can add up simple ifconfig one....

Isn't it better to just call Your ISP and ask them to change your MAC address in their system?
