Root Can see wireless AP but wont connect

[jaison80]

Tried out Firefox OS which was cool. Went back to a factory image of android and since then I been having this issue. Did I hose the wireless radio somehow? I can see access points. I'm so confused.

Are the APs secured? Do you get any errors? Did you flash the radio/baseband along with the factory image?

The flash script contains
[HIGH]
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot -w update image-occam-jdq39.zip[/HIGH]

I reflashed the radio again.

My router is WPA2. Couldn't get any connection.

I hooked another router into it now to play around. I was able to connect and get online.

Clearly, my phone is ok then. So i went into my first router and disabled
Wireless Client Filter and bam i was getting all sorts of notifications on my phone.

I dont understand. It was like my router was treating the phone as if it had a new MAC address and was denying it??? Checking my wireless client list and my phone indeed does have a new MAC. How did this happen??

I was up all night trying to figure this out and it was something so "simple".

I did a quick Google search and it looks like a lot of devices actually have code included in the kernel to dynamically generate a new MAC on every reboot; some may instead only run that on the first boot.

This is good information to know.

Well i have one that changes every reboot i just found out. I never had that before.
