I come hither, to seek the aide of the good folk of this community, if they will allow my intrusion, to solve such a mystery, and to bring justice and light upon such a dark circumstance as mine.MAC addresses are unique identifiers for each network interface on your device. The values would be set in the Device Manager but they simply would not take, no matter which driver had I, nor how many power cyclings of either adapter or computer were performed.Īlas, I have doth attempted yonder SMAC, MadMAC, AMAC, and all thine other software applications that one can conjure up with the employment of laborious Googling, but to no avail lest it be mine own torment and eventual melancholy. After executing thine driver upgrades, (listed on the Dell Driver upgrades for this make and model of laptop, that is to say, Inspiron 1525), and after many reboots I was unable to change the MAC of my own accord. Without problem I have been able to change the MAC Address of the Ethernet adapter, but simply put the wireless adapter cannot be so simply put. My plight is this, I am in need of changing the MAC Address of my wireless adapter. In such instances where a road block had been reached the culprit at fault was most heinously underdeveloped drivers. Although I, being but an underling to the network overlords, am not without a share of experience in these matters, for upon the marks of years to pass I had successfully, and with the utmost ease, have been able to change MAC Addresses for mostly any card. Thus! My plight! That is of the most urgent need to alter the MAC Address of my wireless network adapter, the Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card. Their towers are quite black, you see, and if it can be put one way it is, to say, that when one becomes lost within their realm they are never to be seen again.

A fine specimen indeed!īut woe is I! For at my location of employment I am required to conform to an internal MAC Address schema, ruled by a secretive conspiracy of network administrators looming high above the grounds. Recently I have brought through acquisition into my possession one laptop computer, more specifically of the Inspiron species and of the 1525 breed-stock. Greetings and salutations to all and any that read!
