Windows 7 Networking – Change Broadcom Wireless Adapter MAC Address

mac addressnetworkingwindows 7

I need to change my MAC address of Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter to address of my choice – I need to mask myself as another device in the network. The conflict of the devices will not happen.
Under windows 7 it seems that either the OS or the card driver is ignoring/rejecting all addresses except those that begin with 02 occet.
Are there some cracked drivers or other ways to bypass to protection?

These mac combinations will all work on windows 7.

X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

X - is any hexadecimal number ( they don't have to be the same ).

Mac – Change MAC address of a wireless network adapter

If your hardware doesn't support changing it's MAC address then the easiest solution would be to purchase a new USB 802.11x card. Since the MAC address depends on the NIC a new usb card would do the trick.

Edit:
You can change your MAC address by doing this.

From the command line, log in as root and type;

ifdown eth0
ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:80:FF:FF:98:F5
ifup eth0

This change will only persist until you reboot, so you probably want to put this in your boot script /etc/init.d/

Windows – corrupted, hidden, wireless network adapter from “Network Connections” in Windows 7

Open up your Device Manager (or run: devmgmt.msc). Under View, click Show Hidden Devices. Browse through the device tree until you find your NIC. Right-click, remove, also select Delete the driver software for this device. Reboot. Let it reinstall it. See if that works
