Gemini PDA - Linux / Connman not saving passphrases

« on: October 06, 2019, 10:22:03 am »

Fortunately there is a way to lock the mac address.

1) install hexedit:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install hexedit
2)

Code: [Select]

sudo hexedit /nvdata/APCFG/APRDEB/WIFI and set a mac address in bytes 04-09 (mind that the base is 0, so it starts at the 5th byte) of the first row (0)

3) set the i attr on the file:

Code: [Select]

sudo chattr +i /nvdata/APCFG/APRDEB/WIFI

Hello.

I have executed these steps several times with hexedit and the i attr, but unfortunately they have no effect. Every time I reboot, the mac address in the file /nvdata/APCFG/APRDEB/WIFI is changed back to the old one and I need to reconnect the wireless network. What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something?

I'm not sure if I made the correct input, so I added a picture. My Gemini PDA runs Android 8.1 and Debian.
