i was wondering what the **** the command "ifconfig" doesn't work in harmattan, I have to write "/sbin/ifconfig" thanks!!
why the need of the command develsh after you get root with devel-su? what is the diference between "devel-su" and "develsh" ??

I have a noob question 
So i tried to create a script called wifi.sh with the code above, so that when i open the terminal I just write
/bin/sh /home/user/MyDocs/scripts wifi.sh and the MAC address is changed (then later execute wifi1.sh and it returns to default)
My question is: would it be possible to include the devel-su + pass + develsh input in the script so that when i open the terminal I just execute the script?
upd: figured it out eventually.

Hi there,
Is there any reason my n900 switches to a "random" MAC address (yet always starting with 00:1f:1d) on its own?
It's the second of my n900s to do this.
After a reboot, it's gone and the initial MAC is back.
I find this really weird: what kind of app would change this without any notice to the end user?
Thanks for any feedback on this.

I can recall something called 'macchanger' (no kidding)
It was a CLI utility to change macs in the N900. I used it to get new access to free WiFi hotspots that banned mac addresses after a while.....If you have trouble finding it, let me know and I'll take a look into my N900.
Regards.

IIRC, macchanger is also used in the background by Cleven and maybe other WiFi sniffers. One would assume that they would restore it back after use but I do not really know as I have not been using them myself.

@pasko: thank, I know macchanger and use it from time to time on laptops and desktops, but never on the n900 (it's not installed yet).
@pichlo: interesting, for sure that's something I was thinking about without being able to know which app could have play with the MAC value. As I said, macchanger is not installed but for sure other apps could embed code to do so. I don't have cleven installed and not that much wifi/wlan stuff:

Code:
$ aptitude search ~i~n\(wlan\|wifi\) -F "%p" --disable-columns connui-conndlgs-wlan connui-iapsettings-wlan icd2-network-wlan-config libicd-network-wlan mbarcode-plugin-wifi osso-wlan osso-wlan-security wifi-switcher
Сonsider the fastest and easiest way to change MAC-address
instructions:
1. Go to settings - on the product and write off its own MAC-address WLAN (for example I have it 04:a7:1a:1f:aa:23)
2. Disconnects from the Wi-Fi network
3. Open a terminal and put this your new MAC (eg 14:56:73:24:89:17)
