Description Kamil Neczaj 2009-09-20 11:01:37 UTC 
I sometimes connect to internet outside home, for example at my friend's house. He doesn't have a router and his internet provider filter computer by MAC address. Now I must change MAC using ifconfig. It would be great to have option to set MAC in connection properties, so that I could make new dhcp connection, but with different MAC. When my computer won't connect using standard dhcp connection it would change it automatically to the new one with different MAC.
