Hi,
I have a problem with conflicting MAC addresses between two phones so I have been trying to change the address on one of the phones.
I installed busybox and tried apps that all failed to change the address. I tried accessing data/misc/wifi/nvram.txt and it says "file not found".
When I try coping the whole wifi folder I get "/data/misc/wifi/sockets/wlan0: no such device or address".
When I type: busybox iplink show wlan0 I get my MAC address but when i type: busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 I get: "ifconfig: SIOCSIFHWADDR: Operation not supported".

Please help, I'm really stuck here.
Thanks
