Got it! Changing MAC address on my Galaxy Mini Android device (thanks to RootBrowser app, since MacAdressGhost isn't compatible with Galaxy Mini), it works!

'Street-Home-Passed' someone called Kretiar from Germany. My Mii is called Kaleo. :D

BTW, I've used _The Cloud SSID.

Wow, that is crediar, our wel known wiidev..

Holy crap. I get home from work not only to find my topic moved 20+ pages but to also be featured on the front page. Good job to everyone who contributed *thumbs up*

Weird, all MAC addresses just stopped working for me, with the exception of my smartphone - and the smartphone's MAC also does not work from Linux. Just slept a night, so it can't be the 8-hour limit. Weird... did Nintendo manage to block it already?

Didn't have any success - but maybe I exhausted all available addresses an hour ago. Rebooted the PC, still didn't work. Maybe it's just my internet that's acting strange. Getting a new Nintendo error code each time I try to access the Nintendo Zone viewer. Whatever, I'll try it again after 8 hours, maybe it's just one of those strange hiccups that you can get on random occasions.

Pretty sure I just seeded this MAC 42:53:50:4F:4F:48 Also 1 page ago I had listed off 3 similar mac's that I got hits on. Oh and using attwifi for ssid, I was trying to use the WPA2 Bestbuy one and I couldn't actually connect to NZone at all.

btw guys just found out foxfi is changing the mac too.
I changed my mac from the terminal emulator by hand, did a busybox iplink show wlan0 and it was indeed the 40:53:50:4f:4f:46.
turned on foxfi so my 3ds will connect to it and there was nothing (as always) after 10 mins. but this time I did an ifconfig show again. and lo and behold, it has changed to a totally random mac. no wonder i was not getting streetpasses...
know any other tethering app besides foxfi that does take such ... liberties ?:)

When I do this exploit with someone I get their MAC address and get a streetpass from them. However only I am receiving the streetpassing and I'm wondering why it isnt working for them?

Also should my 3DS be open or closed for this and on the main menu?

the SP you received may or may not receive your SP back, depending if that person is still within that NZ area.

open or closed, it doesn't matter. I get SPs for both within 2 mins of spoofing a MAC.
