This isn't a problem. You can choose whatever MAC address you would like. ifconfig wlanX down ifconfig wlanX hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ifconfig wlanX up Then just connect. This should do the trick. Your router will see it as whatever address you choose (as long as it is valid).

Thanks everyone for the tips and pointers. The sheer quantity of different video and audio codecs is mind-boggling; it's quite an education for me ;). As for HandBrake, the oneiric ppa version is 0.9.8 and if we can read in the Encoders/Audio section of the 0.9.6 release notes (from https://t

Arista is probably your safest bet since it doesn't have a leaning curve. x264 is easier than ffmpeg in the cli and probably the most fail-proof encoder to the formats you specified, since its only focus is H264.

Trisquel has some agreement with DuckDuckGo, but I don't remember what exactly it entails. The main difference between my config and the DDG one is that I have the Trisquel referrer (like what you have in Abrowser) in the URL. This might be useful to Trisquel if there is some financial gain.
