Freely modify the MAC address of the wireless network card at the driver level

[魏士帅]

We need to modify the MAC address function of the wireless network card. Please do not obstruct users from freely using the wireless network card, including modifying its MAC address

What safety considerations are there?? It is to increase the inconvenience for users to use. What we need is the use of software authorized by binding MAC addresses, this feature!! Can't you really engage in such behavior?

Is it interesting?? Don't you think about it: if the wireless network card is damaged, the new network card's MAC address is not consistent with the original network card, and all authorized software cannot run, this is the result you want???? Is this really good for the user experience?? All authorizations need to be reapplied for, and reapplying for authorizations requires re payment, which is the result you want!!!!! Intel!!!!

You have to change it, you have to change it if you don't, otherwise we will establish a global forum to crack your technology! This is not considered hacking behavior!! Don't think your hardware can't crack it. That's a big joke!!

We are currently formally requesting from Intel's official management team that all network cards produced by Intel, including wired and wireless, can be changed to MAC address formats at the driver level at will!! If you don't care, then we'll find a manufacturer who can do this feature! You really wouldn't think you would cover up everything, would you?? It's definitely impossible. There are many manufacturers that can produce wireless network cards, not just big and small brands like Intel and Realtek! You really think you can count the majority of users with your little thought!

It's not just imitating Mac, but it can be directly modified... Imitation and modification are two different things. The driver level can be modified. Wireless network card doesn't work, both wired and virtual network cards are fine.

No need for third-party software. What is the relationship between this and imitation??

Do you think this is still the past era? Times have changed!!! Big brother, Intel Company. The number of MAC addresses is limited and cannot guarantee global uniqueness. Big brother... The number of MAC addresses is less than that of IPv6 addresses, right? This problem will happen sooner or later, big brother.

As long as the number of network cards reaches a certain level, you will have to use duplicate addresses, big brother!!!! My Intel big brother!!!

If you don't support it, it doesn't mean that one MAC address per device is equivalent to security. Security and MAC address are two different things. Moreover, MAC addresses are no longer sufficient to prove network security. A router or optical modem can be hacked, damaging firmware, let alone your network card. The flash of the router's firmware will be depleted. In addition, not only the wireless network card, but also the CPU can be changed, dare you say these are all safe!!

So safety reasons are unreliable.

What we mean by changing the Mac is a software change, not a change to the Mac in the hardware. That is to say, any changes made using software can be restored. It's not that third-party software imitates Mac, it's because you don't support it that they do it. This is not related to safety. This is not related to safety. Security needs to consider network security, and MAC address is no longer very important. If security is considered.. If security is taken into consideration, ARP flooding attacks will harm any Mac. But being able to change and not being able to change are two different things!!

The MAC of the hardware firmware does not need to be changed, what is needed is that the driver level can be changed freely. It can also be restored. This should be decided by the user, the manufacturer cannot decide!! The manufacturer has decided to restrict the legitimate right of users to freely use wireless network cards

In fact, our device's SN code, serial number, and MAC address should all support changing, and many hardware devices already support it. Routers all support modification, and wireless network cards that do not support it are considered useless.

Hello, I have checked the regulatory information and it only restricts the use of specified formats or standards of antennas, which has nothing to do with MAC addresses!! Please review again by Intel and modify the wireless network card driver to support MAC address modification... The MAC address is the identifier of the second layer network device and has no relation to the type of wireless signal that the wireless network card can receive or transmit..

In fact, the MAC address is not limited, but rather the frequency band used. For example, in China, the 6GHz frequency band is currently not allowed, which is not related to the MAC address. Because wireless in the 6GHz frequency band in China has not yet been approved, this is a requirement for wireless signal standards and has nothing to do with MAC addresses!!
