I've seen some guides, but none of them seem to work for the galaxy nexus. Does anyone know how to change the mac address permanently?

At work we have wifi, but it's limited to the MAC addresses of the laptops that have been handed out. Is there any way to spoof the mac address on my phone to match that of my laptop (which would be switched off at the time) ?
Thanks,
I haven't heard of any way to do that for pocketpcs. Why don't you use smac on your laptop and change the laptop's mac to your current pda's mac adress? And you need administrative rights or an admin that will to let you do this / change your laptop's mac in the system database or whatever.
No go on that I'm afraid. It's my IT department that controls the issuance of laptops and the same people that lock down the wifi access by mac address. They'd notice a mac address that doesn't belong because we only use Thinkpads.
Well I was interested in that too but when I didn't need it anymore I stopped searching. If you search a lot you might find a working solution, take a look there if you have a ee-subscription (I don't) http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Microsoft_Network/Q_21206803.html
or take a look at the netstumbler forum or the efnet channel. I will do a little research too. I think the mac adress can probably be changed through the registry settings, some cards support that.
....not with a pre-made tool or simple reg.tweak AFAIK
there were some old threads somewhere here on xda about it,
Now, I don't remember the details, but I'm pretty sure someone managed it, but only with some badass coding, instructions for which were way above my head. Check the old threads in networking sub-forum...
I am running Android 4.0.3 on my Kindle Fire with CyanogenMod Version 9.0.0-RC0-KFire-KANG
I have searched around on these forums and couldn't find anything so I decided to start a new thread on this topic.
I have tried multiple ways to do this but still I am failing to find a way to change my Kindle's MAC Address. If anybody could help me with my problem I would really appreciate it.

I have the same problem both myself and my coworker have a Kindle Fire installed with the CM9 Reloaded v1.3, and we both have the same MAC address and we both get the same IP Address from the router and of course network traffic bounces between the two of us so neither of us can browse.
My phone keeps changing mac addresses. Is this normal? And does the mac address changer with every rom I load? I thought mac addresses were phone specific, and not rom specific. As in your phone has a mac address and that it didn't change. Thanks
It should not change, not sure what's going on there.
Recently I got my hands on an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. I just flashed Pacman rom and I have busybox installed. I've looked around XDA and other sites for help with this and all solutions haven't worked for me.
I am attempting to change my MAC address in order to join a network that uses MAC address filtering. If it helps, the network uses an Apple Airport Extreme to allow/disallow connections based on MAC address. I've tried Mac Address Ghost, Mac Spoof, Smile Jobs (I'm aware this is just an older version of Mac Address Ghost), and simply typing busybox commands in the terminal emulator. The phone is of course rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can supply any screenshots or other information that is needed, just ask!
I'm kind of new to Android in general (especially rooting, flashing roms, etc.) but not to technology, mobile or otherwise.
My S4 mini (GT-9192) running cm13 cannot connect to the WiFi network and the mac address shows 02:00:00:00:00:00 rather that the unique address it is supposed to have. My question is how can I fix this? any help will be appreciated.
EDIT: a soft reboot fixes the problem temporarily. If there is any permanent solutions,please let me know
