Where is the new module parameter needed? I was thinking about changing the mac address using the standard interface, for example 'ip' tool or similar. I think mac80211 supports that (see ieee80211_change_mage) but I haven't tested it. I'm worried that we are talking about different things here so maybe it's best that I'll wait for the actual patch before commenting more. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
