27 Hi Joost,
28
29 your are right: It is Android Lollipop 5.0 ! :)

31 I think specialists experienced in networks, Wlans, Wifis and
32 such know and are experienced in hacking into others devices. Changing
33 the MAC may or may not a tool for that ... I simply dont know. I am
34 just at the start to get Wifi working ... a very basic problem for
35 others like you I think. For me...it is just a challenge.
36 Are you experienced in breaking in someone elses WIFI via changing the
37 MAC? Where came your idea from?

39 Best regards,
