it worked for me, but there is something you must add

if the “NetworkAddress” string value isnt found on the same key as your network adapter, then you must right click > new string value > name it as NetworkAddress > write a MAC address with 12 hex digits > disable > enable
and everyting should go just dandy

I find a proper way on how to change Mac address under windows 7.

Windows 7 is very strange on changing Mac address, it can only be done sucessfully if you start the MAC adress on the first two characters start from 12 XX XX XX XX XX (You can put any number after 12)

For example, if you want to change mac address for a lan card , you should start the mac address from this style , such as 12 A6 57 32 76 D4. Then the Mac address changing for a lan card should be done sucessfully.

Also I recommend that Mac Makeup Ver. 1.95d is the best MAC changing software for windows 7, I have tested it and always sucessfully changing the mac address starting from 12 XX XX XX XX XX.

You can download Mac Makeup from http://www.gorlani.com/publicprj/macmakeup/macmakeup.asp

it does work under windows seven!

just make sure that the starting ones i know for sure dont match like if yours is originally
00-12-a5-e3-11-12

make sure that it starts with like 12-xx-xx-xx
to be on the safe side make sure no pair of numbers are the same

11-22-33-44-55-66 <-bad lol

but this DOES work on 7!

For Windows 7 simply install an earlier version of the wireless card driver. Then goto device manager and select the wireless card, select “update driver”, select “manually choose which driver I want to install” then select the older driver from the list.
Worked for me with Windows 7 RC (build 7100) using Intel 3945ABG
