Hello everybody!
My ISP makes simple filtering by MAC address and IP of the NIC in my PC. Usually, I connect with wireless adaper to the AP at home which works as a bridge to the ISP's LAN cable. But if I have to use another adapter I spoof its MAC address and everything works fine.
As long as Zaurus 5500 is not my primary home PC , if I want to get it connected to internet through the Asus SpaceLink WL-110 CF wlan adapter I must spoof its mac address. It is easy:
#ifconfig wlan0 hw ether XXYYZZXXYYZZ
where XXYY... is the MAC address which the ISP expects. It works, but I would like to know where is the most proper place to make this spoofing permanent (which config files should I change I mean). I am talking about OpenZaurus 3.5.3 with opie.
10x in advance!

The followin change to /etc/network/interfaces should do the trick:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[...]
pre-up ifconfig $IFACE hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
