Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Available as/for: -

Description:

QT4 frontend for CLI tool macchanger, written in Python using PyQt4.

---0.4.0---

Under the hood refactoring
Icon
small UI changes
better install and uninstall scripts

---0.3.63---
New version comes, with boot option which can be still buggy,if you'll find some, write me.
Boot option should be tricky, if you boot with changed MAC address, your device names should be also changed.
So once you booted with boot script, and you want to change MAC address on boot again, delete boot script(file-> delete boot script) and restart your computer first!!!

INSTALL:

untar
chmod +x install.sh
run install.sh as root
type mac_addresser

UNINSTALL:

chmod +x uninstall.sh
run uninstall.sh as root

dep:
-python
-pyqt
-macchanger

TODO:

- restore

PS: another distibutions should be added in boot options,if you tell how should boot script look (joffko(at)gmail.com )

PS1:you need to be root to change mac addres

Enjoy

What's the point of having a GUI for things root have to do ?

Possibly this mentality drives people off.
Any GUI, Good, Bad or Ugly is always welcome.
BTW it is rare to have the MAC address changed, It is a special task only one in a million undertake, still it has got a GUI and that's good. No need to read a --help. And small utilities like this are really needed for OpenSource products to grab market.
The dusty days of the geek sysadmin putting all options in his brazen head typing lengthy commands on konsole need to be replaced. Now-a-days even sysadmins need a break.
