hi, as you can see i'm new here

i wanted to ask a question.
i installed xubuntu on my ps3 (fully working), and i changed my mac addrss trough this command

 sudo  ifconfig eth0 down 
 sudo  ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01
 sudo   ifconfig eth0 up

but when i reboot the system and when i check the mac its back to the previous one
how can i fix this?.

Can you help me?

The MAC address is the hardware identifier. It is a unique ID for the card, and is usually hard coded into it. While you can temporarily change it, as you see, it isn't permanent.

There really isn't much reason to change this, anyway. Why do you feel you need to change it?

well, i'm banned on my ps3 (console banned).
if you got banned they set your mac address in a blacklist so that you can't acces online + the PSN Store.
and i really want to play online so if I change my mac-address then i will have acces to online + the PSN Store

Just use a different network card. it will have a different MAC address.

its not that easy to open a ps3 and change the network card.

I think ....

You most likely did something to get banned, and I am not trying to help you get around it. But, there are USB devices:

Newegg.com - Networking,Wired Networking,Network Interface Cards,USB

Have the command run as a startup script. Put the script in /etc/init.d/ then symlink to your rcS.d folder.

There are plenty of tutorials on how to do this. The methods that work in ubuntu will also work on xubuntu.

good luck.
