[Q] How to restore the MAC address for wifi adapter? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My S2 device lost wifi MAC address. So it could not connect to wifi network. I think some guys met this problem too.
Now I check the etc/wifi and find there's wifi.conf, wpa_supplicant.conf.
But I do not know how to use the conf to restore MAC address.
Anyone can help?
Thanks

Your post doesn't indicate if you are still able to access a WiFi network. If you can, do so on a network that you can enter the router and see what is listed for the Mac under the "attached devices" tab.
Once you have that info, I think I remember seeing a post RE editing Mac adds somewhere.

1. the ip address of your smartphone is given by your locale oder mobile network, depending on what you are running!
2. your mac address if deleted is hard to recover, so most new devices don't have them hard coded or hardware based, biut in the rom of your mobile chipset.. so try a mac address changer from the play store maybe, if you have root

mac address changing, spoofing for i9205 ir i527

Hey guys I tried all the apps in google play ( mac address ghost,mac spoofer and mac changer) to no avail. I get the same problem when I spoof the mac address where wifi wont recognize the password. Anybody have a solution for this? I am running stock rom and am rooted with busybox and supersu and quick terminal installed. A permanent or temporary solution would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!
Anybody knows where I could find the mac address in root explorer? Where is it stored? Thanks guys.
EDIT: I opened root explorer went into efs/wifi and changed the mac address on each file with text editor. The result is different mac address on my network but also shows my old mac address, so now when I connect to my network it shows 2 connections. I blocked my old mac address on my router settings but im still able to connect. Anybody experimenting with this let me know your results.
