Hehe. I'm glad it chose pennies for what they're worth, and decided to reboot. On Chinook fakeif.so also works, it has some slightly different options.

Right now, I'm not using the navicore dbus service, or at least navicore doesn't talk to it when its starting. But I'm pretty sure this can also make use of libmacspoof. I can't say I'm missing this service as of yet?

I don't know C well enough to develop a library intercepting an fopen call to /sys/devices/platform/wlan-omap/cal_mac_address however those 3 parts together would be the cleanest solution.

PS: while looking at the binaries I found out this software is basically a port of the S60 version, with GTK2 glue around it. Given Nokia bought Navteq perhaps they'll develop their own (proprietary) GPS applications.
