#happens to be a WPC 11 with sprint 2001 firmware, you will need
#to adjust this. mail me with a sleep interval that works for
#your card/access points.

echo $addy
#I like to have this here to observe it's workings

sleep .5
#sleep for half a second, this may not work on some systems

wicontrol -i wi0 -m $addy
#calls wicontrol(8) to set the new MAC address
#the card then will reassociate. and then again.
#and again. and then again. get the idea?
