I'll restore from backup. |

For those interested, I deleted files from /var/lib/dhcpbd, and this allowed |
| 14 |
me to get new IP addresses, but all within the faulty subdomain of |
| 15 |
California. I tried on another wireless networks, and still my machine |
| 16 |
tries to assign me an IP within the California domain. I reinstalled my |
| 17 |
entire networking software (short of a kernel recompile), and deleted and |
| 18 |
remade any network configuration files I could find that might be relevant, |
| 19 |
and still the problem persisted. I used wicd to assign myself static IP |
| 20 |
and DNS with known values that are functional, and then the network was |
| 21 |
recognized, but I could not access anything. |

I have a backup of the current system, so if anyone is really really |
| 24 |
interested in this subject, I could restore and toy around some more. But I |
| 25 |
have to recommend against using macchanger without a very recent backup of |
| 26 |
your system. I'd file a bug report, but what would I say? I don't know |
| 27 |
what file was actually being affected, so I can't offer any useful insight. |
