[WMB from Gigabyte Utility - Is possible]

The good thing about this, if you have flashme, you could WMB a wifi program, then switch over to SoftAP easily (with software hack).

 

Are you trying to do this with a different utility?

I can WMB a wifi program, then install the original drivers and then use that, but I need to reboot each time I install the damn driver (Windows sucks that way, doesn't it? ).

Anyway, I'm sure rebooting isn't really necessary, but still, it'd be easier to just have a way to switch between the drivers on-the-fly (for all existing supported RaLink cards), which is why I asked.

 

I guess the answer is "no".

Oh well.

Does it use the gigabyte driver & utility?

 

What OS is yours?

 

Are you relying on the batch scripts to do it for you?

-------

I would try doing it myself. Finding the gigabyte folder.

Finding the %OS%STA/ folder.

Copy the original rt2500.sys to a safe place.

Put in the renamed wifime file. Make sure this is the one for your OS.

Go into Ap mode, then switch to station.

For NDS development and software testing (etc.) I use Windows.

I don't even use the Gigabyte card, sorry for not clarifying that.

 

I knew your method wouldn't work but I have tried doing roughly the same (replacing the.sys file) with the drivers for my own (PCI) network card (LC700030 by Sweex) which didn't work.

 

I was just asking if there's an alternative general known method to get both methods working with existing software (that I missed).

 

Anyway, great efford on your part, just a shame I don't have the same hardware.

I've tried messing around with the driver to achieve the same effect with my LC700030, but no luck.

 

Is there a known method to do this for my network card?

 

 

I've not seen it be discussed on any forum yet or anything (may have slipped by me, hence this post).

[Find your Mac ID]

You can actually do this if you use Darkfader's PPflash app.

Why you'd want to i don't know (suppose if an AP mac filtered...)

I meant software-wise, without having to solder anything.

 

And I can imagine one reason could be account spoofing.

(note: I'm just plotting a possible scenario here, I'm not actually intending on doing this. I'm just interested in what could happen.)

[Find your Mac ID]

That's a common mistruth - flashme does not overwrite all of firmware, and things like the mac address are *not* modified.

 

So no, not every flashme'd DS has the same MAC address.

This does raise the topic of MAC spoofing, though.

If the source to flashme was ever released (not going to happen, I know) or when someone figures out how to write to the firmware themselves, they would be able to effectively change their MAC address.

 

Interesting.

 

 

What I was more interested in, though, was if you would be able to release the source of your firmware viewer?
