I know it can be done on the Hero through fastboot, but as there is no unlocked boot loader for the Desire it's not possible.

Which MAC address?
The WiFi MAC address should be accessible through ifconfig just as any other *nix derivative. Try it, but you need the ifconfig binary first. I found the ifconfig/iwconfig etc binaries compiled for android somewhere and they work as they are supposed to via terminal emulator.

[Q] Ethernet adapter

LG stock doesn't recognize ethernet adapter (Apple stuff). My Galaxy Nexus recognize it and work great.
Is it necessary a particular kernel or custom rom to have ethernet adapter recognized ???
Do you if some already have this feature ???
Nobody knows if it's because of kernel or maybe the rom ???
No information about this topic ???

I'm assuming the adapter is connected via USB-OTG cable. Driver support would need to be compiled into the kernel. Do you have G Pad v500 or v510 GPE?
If you have root, download and install Busybox and Terminal Emulator. Then open Terminal Emulator and run:
Code:
su
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg_output.txt
Then you can upload that txt file to this thread or just send it to me via PM.
It's a V500.
I do the txt file with otg and ethernet adapter connected.
Thank u. Bye

Then ethernet adapter should work with Cyanogenmod 11, because I use it on my Galaxy Nexus with CM11.
Even if I use it on my GN also with stock rom.
Isn't it ?

Your tablet correctly created eth0 device (dmesg log).
You need to use the following command on terminal emulator:
Code:
su
dhcpcd eth0
Now the eth0 must work...
I get the adress but it doesn't connect.
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # dhcpcd eth0
dhcpcd[4860]: version 5.5.6 starting
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: carrier acquired
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: sendmsg: Cannot assign requested address
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: carrier lost
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: carrier acquired
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: offered 192.168.1.107 from 192.168.1.1
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: acknowledged 192.168.1.107 from 192.168.1.1
dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: checking for 192.168.1.107

dhcpcd[4860]: eth0: leased 192.168.1.107 for 86400 seconds
dhcpcd[4860]: forked to background, child pid 4935
The browser says that I am offline, and in the option there isn't any ethernet connection.
Anyone can help me ??

Are you able to ping your local network? how about external networks?
ping 192.168.1.1
ping google.com
ping 8.8.8.8
Now it works ! But I don't know how. Something strange.
I did upgrade to 4.4.2. Thank u id10terror for the zip file with fota wipe.
But it still didn't work until I plug ethernet adapter to my Galaxy Nexus, that it goes well with it.
Then I unplug it and plug again to Lg-v500. Soon it recognizes and blu light turn on.
And now it goes well to the net.
I will make a try disconnecting and connecting again from another cable.
It seems to work very well now.
I think because of the upgrade to 4.4.2.
Don't you agree ?
I don't really understand why ethernet connection speed is so slow.
I got 2 Mbps, but with WiFi I can get up to 4.5 Mbps !!!

Now I am on Cyanogenmod 12.1 and I can't connect with ethernet anymore.
The tablet still correctly created eth0 device (dmesg log).
It does ping 192.168.1.1 (my router) , and 8.8.8.8 as well, even if I don't know what it is.
It doesn't ping google.com or www.google.com, saying host unknown.
What else I can do ???
No more people here ??

How to Change Wi-Fi MAC address

Guys please help me to change my device (Redmi 1S) mac address i am unable to change it using Terminal Emulator (busybox installed ) currently using CM12.1 ROM .
You can't change mac address as it is wifi chip integrated.
but you can spoof mac address. google for mac spoofing.
basically spoofing is like a mask which hides your original mac address.
press thanks if I helped.
peace
