With zeroshell work all my 4 rtl8187l with MAC changes i have lost days and night to force change mac address,
after change the mac address in pfsense the AP has the original mac in list!!! Is impossible!Imo lastly buged driver (urtw)or script! -
There may be a bug with MAC address handling for the *_wlan0 interfaces that may have gone unnoticed by everyone else and that I never got around to fixing myself. Rather than assigning urtw0 directly; if it is still assigned to something, then unassign it and reboot (also reboot if you haven't since it was last assigned), or instead of rebooting you can delete the urtw0_wlan0 interface manually from the console if you know how; then create a virtual wireless interface on the wireless tab (available from the assign interfaces page) and assign urtw0_wlan1 instead or directly assigning urtw0. If the bug I'm thinking of is still there, this may work around it.
