Series 60, the operating system running on many smartphones, sometimes reports the mac address of the wireless network adapter on the phone incorrectly (enter *#62209526# and press send/call to find the reported mac address).
I think the only consumer device this will affect at present is the Nokia N80, as this is the only model with built-in WiFi.
The good news is I’ve hacked up a quick form to fix incorrect mac addresses. If you’re having trouble accessing a network that uses mac address access lists, put the reported address in the box, click Go and see if it works using the new mac address.
