Hello I have been trying to put bridge mode on ubuntu basically my setup I've got a router upstairs that I usually get wireless to my laptop which is connected ethernet to my ps3, so my ps3 gets connected through my laptop
WIFI ---- LAPTOP ----------- PS3
Now on winxp this doesn't pose me a problem at all I just select local area connection and the wireless connection just select them and click create bridge.
Howewer in Ubuntu I couldn't do it, so I started looking around etc and setting manually then I installed bridge-utils, firestarter and netbridge still nothing
Then i used the command sudo ifconfig.
I was looking to see if I add any device with that unknown mac address for eth0 which I hadn't so I looked around more and there is an utility that changes the mac address. However as soon I change the mac address it resets itself right away. Is there a FIX to this so that it is set permanently because that is not recognized anywhere.
sudo ifconfig eth0 down sudo macchanger -m XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX eth0 sudo ifconfig eth0 up
These are the commands I use. Is there a way to edit them into a script and put the script somewhere to make this solution permanent? I've seen somewhere that you could edit them in sysconfig but I used ctrl+h and didn't find sysconfig and those files to edit there.
Any help is appreciated
EDIT: I forgot to say I am running Ubuntu version 11.10
