After moving in to my new house... I pulled up iStumbler and noticed that I now have everybody's MAC address on the block... is there a way to spoof you airport MAC address? And more importantly, is there a way to get your IP address from that MAC address? I have wep and password protection enabled, but the airport node *has* to be on an inside tier of my network... don't ask why but it does... and I can not get my other routers MAC address to take in the airport's MAC address only "security feature" for some reason. Any help would be great... thx!

As far as I know there is no way to do this at this time. ifconfig en1 lladdr mac_addr returns operation not supported.

I had heard that there was some app on warp os that did it... not that it's easy to get a warp os loaded computer!

Covers the issue of MAC address spoofing quite well IMHO. It seems crappy though that you have to jump through such hoops to do this.
