I wrote a litlle script for people who want to change their MAC address as I ran into issue 4 (I have to apply in writing for accessing the WLAN at work with a certain MAC. I did this and flashed my boox the next day
). It is pretty simple to change your MAC once you find where it is, all you need it root access to /lib/hotplug/firmware/sofmac.
In order to use the script you must first install the script UI primitives posted
here in "/usr/local/bin". After that you should be able to run setmac.oar. The script allows to edit and set your mac address. It makes a copy of your softmac file in "/lib/hotplug/firmware/sofmac_bkup".
The script serves my purposes but obviously usage of the script is at your own risk...
