mac address change



hello,
to use WiFi@uni, need to have a registered mac address. It costs to
register mac addresses so if i have the wrong WiFi card with me i want
to change the address to the registered one.

My method is as follows:
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether xx:xx:...
the response is:
cannot assign the specified address

[that might not be exact, this is from memory]

The mac address is correct [i copied it from the output of ifconfig]
is it that cards cant accept addresses asigned to other manufacturers?

thanks,

hugh
