I did give your solution a go, but no such luck. The problem is that when the MAC address was randomly changed, it's given me an IP address assigned to the region near Marina del Rey, California.

Try shutting it down, remove power (actually unplug it - most moderm
MB's stay live when supposedly off)

Wait 10 minutes and apply power and boot.

Its probable the hardware and software are now confused and need a clean start.

Like I said, I can use the wireless card just= fine in other operating systems if I reboot, so it's not hardware.&nbs= p; I did give your solution a go, but no such luck.
