It's the second of my n900s to do this.
After a reboot, it's gone and the initial MAC is back.

I find this really weird: what kind of app would change this without any notice to the end user?

Thanks for any feedback on this.
Hi.

I can recall something called 'macchanger' (no kidding) It was a CLI utility to change macs in the N900. I used it to get new access to free WiFi hotspots that banned mac addresses after a while.....

If you have trouble finding it, let me know and I'll take a look into my N900.

Regards.
