    yea i tried this software didnt seem to work. everything i tried didnt seem to work for the intel 5100 card.

    With this software i get the error cant setup interface, and with others they just crash when trying to change it. It doesnt even work manually through regedit

    ok the software actually changes the mac id in the registery but even if i do it manually and with this software it still doesn't actually change when i restart the adapter.

    maybe my intel 5100 card doesnt support it?
