Whenever I connect the LAN cable to my new laptop, there is connection, but the web is not accessible due to MAC mismatch (my old laptop's MAC is registered with my ISP). When I spoof the MAC address in Windows, it works just fine. But in Ubuntu 14.10, when I clone the MAC address, the net starts connecting and disconnecting repeatedly (at a frequency of about 20 times per minute). Please help me get over this problem. Thanks in advance. (Btw, I'm a newcomer in Linux).
lshw -c network
? Also, in the output, look for adriver=[driver_name]
in theconfiguration
field for your Ethernet controller. Then domodinfo [driver_name]
. Post the output by editing your question.
