I have an internal Atheros WiFi card and an external Realtek USB. Both of them allow mac address change and connect just fine on non-BSD OSes (Win/Lin). I can't connect to the access point if I spoof them under FreeBSD. Without changing the mac address they connect just fine.
I have tried adding hints in loader.conf and declaring the wlan address in rc.conf. Also did the whole dance of disabling, destroying wlan0, adding hints manually, recreating the adapter, unloading-reloading .ko files and much more. Is there a way to make this work or is mac spoofing a thing of the past for WiFi? Is it that only a few specific chipsets are supported now? I remember this working fine in earlier BSD releases (<11).
Has anyone managed to successfully change their WiFi mac address and connect to an access point using FreeBSD 12.1 and above? Please respond with your Wifi adapter/chipset info if possible. Thanks.
