The SSID is different than the MAC address.

An SSID might be "linksys"

A mac ID looks like this...
6a:3a:a4:c2:d5:3c

Thanks for your interest in this Morgauxo. I hope this has been instructive.

Your mac address identifies your hardware. When you take it places, and if there is an effort to geo position the data of where all the mac addresses are / have been, it tracks movements of laptops and wireless devices. Mac addresses are typically only thought to be important for the local subnet. Outside of the gateway, the return mac addresses gets replaced at pretty much every hop along the way.

Well, I found a program in the Ubuntu repository that can create a random mac address for my wifi card :)

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu.html

macchanger -r wlan0

Creates a new random mac address for the wifi card. But first you have to disable it so it is not in use at the time.

Happy Dance !

You don't seem to understand the exposure. Every device that has a mac address, whether it is using encryption or not, is potentially cataloged. Now a person on the run from government gone wild, has to be concerned about their mac addresses on their wifi device. Consider the CALEA legislation and how internet cafes are supposed to allow the feds to spy on internet traffic. OOPS! Now they know where you are. This hits home to me, because apparently I've unleashed a bees nest of activity in Bakersfield California. All I have to say is that the Sheriffs and County supervisors should get District Attorney Ed Jagles out of office before he costs them any more money. I'm seeking 555 million dollars in dammages for their attempt to take my life, torturing me, denying me due process of law and denying me access to water despite asking for it 35 times in a hospital!

So yes! We do need a way to come up with a different MAC address on the wireless cards - and that's just for starters.... We need to be able to identify whether RFID chips are in the laptops, shoes, drivers licenses, credit cards, etc... They act like a beacon on an airplane sending back a unique serial number. Consider Casper Weinberger's Department of Defense plans for "Total Information Awareness" TIA. They are data mining us so that resistance to their dominion will be perceived as hopeless. Well I'm here to tell you all it isn't hopeless. More about my difficult encounter with the Bakersfield Police http://nahls.net/joe.html

We need programmers to write code into the drivers to optionally enable the randomization of MAC addresses on wifi cards. This needs to be setup also on the Access Points. maybe setting it up so they change once a day?

Imagine a city like Bakersfield, California where the Sheriff's department flys over neighborhoods with helecopters at maybe 250 feet pointing search lights at the homes. Might they be collecting MAC addresses? might they be sending RFID pulses to identify all the junk in your house?

Considering that department stores like Kohls have experimented with putting RFID chips in clothing, we need to start finding ways to identify where these chips are in our belongings and blast them with microwaves to "blow them out".

Bakersfield, California is home to a ton of corruption in the courts, sheriff's department, District Attorney's office.

I am involved with affidavits against high ranking officers there and sheriff's deputies have made threats against my life.

I find it interesting that the attribute 5 things to this "Russian"
business network.

5 is an occult power number for encumbering the help of Gnosticism's 5
dark evil demi-urges that are accredited with creating this world.

The bankers are masters of deception and occult hand waving. Who else
could conjure up money out of thin air for you to buy your house with
and then enslave you to pay the sum back times 3? May the bankers be
fully exposed and bear the shame and may they seek our forgiveness on
their knees. May we never, ever be deceived financially by the
Knights of Malta, the Masons, The Catholic Church or any other secret
society / religion which seeks to control our minds with occult
practices to enslave us.

Ah, that felt good to get off my chest.

I Void the UN - Government Imposters - New Internet Design Requirements - Quantum Internet Links?

The US Constitution Requires all treaties to comply with it's
provisions and the UN Treaties are clearly outside of the limits the
US Constitution imposes on Governance - so I declare the UN to now be
not binding on the United States of America or the United States or
the Several States -- err there are actually many names we've had over
here as the US has morphed many times in it's corporate status.

I'm just sick of corporations like "The United States of America"
impostering as a legitimate government.

The Internet needs a new design requirement.... No Controls, No
Central Controls, No Identity Requirements.

Oh, and whiles we are at it... What about using quantum physics to
Internet Links? Imagine your blackberry being quantumly linked to
your office network and making calls via a sip client and TOTALLY
BYPASSING the microwave cell phone companies!!!!!

Nice!

Apartments are third party storage locations and houses. What about
the homeless who keep their documents in on-line storage locations?
They need protection as well.

Papers and effects are to be free from unreasonable search and
seizure.

I'm talking out of both sides of my head again.

I'm Joey the Anarchist and It can be shown that the US Government is
invalid in it's present form - totally and completely as a matter of
law. The US Constitution was void before the ink dried on it. Hear
the podcasts up at http://nahls.net/ to learn more or if you like read

The Articles of Confederation required Unanimous consent for changes
to it. Well some criminals conviened and came up with the US
Constitution - they did it in secret and nobody signed the document as
a signature, only as witnesses. This is a problem. People have
gotten away from unanimous consent and I think we really need to get
back to the idea that one lone dissenter can and should be able to
stand his ground. I tend to be that one person quite allot these
days.

The idea is that nothing may be coerced and voluntary informed consent
free of deception with full disclosure - these are a perquisite to
all contract law.

The Beagle tool on Linux can be used. It also has a web based
interface for running queries over the network. From looking at the
configuration screens, it appears to be able to cascade to other
systems to send queries to beagle services there also.

Dogs have a great sense of smell for finding things, so put a Beagle
to work databasing your files for instant access in the future.

I've used beagle for a long time, and I even added the Beagle plugin
for firefox so I can find content on web pages I've visited.

Thanks to an open source tool such as Beagle, I don't have to trust
proprietary code that has the potential of giving away my secrets
through hidden back doors.

Anonymity is essential!

Declare your sovereign rite to anonymity.

Governments are illusionary - reject Government IDs.

PGP Rings of trust can be useful for Identification.

Microsoft should use it's legal force to show how the US Government has NO STANDING to enforce any laws.

Oh, well maybe Microsoft has a vested interest in having organized criminals (government jackboot thugs) enforce imaginary concepts such as "software patents".

My vision of anarchy is more beautiful than the best garden you've ever seen.

Serve "public officials" a notice of demand today that they are trespassing upon your sovereignty.
