I've got the same darned issue and I think that it all owes to Realtek Semiconductor corp. cause I've been toiling for the same bloody issue and I have a leoxys adapter running the same chipset . Let me tell you this : Never buy a stupid adapter that runs a Realtek chipset cause I can't enable monitor mode or change my Mac address or do anything for that matter. I suggest you get another adapter for this.
I am using a Realtek Semiconductor corp adapter I found actually we can spoof the MAC address by following the process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-orY4fCoze4
1) First generate a new MAC address with macchanger.
# macchanger -r wlan0
Current MAC: 00:e0:4c:10:ed:53 (REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORP.)
Permanent MAC: 00:e0:4c:10:ed:53 (REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORP.)
New MAC: 76:9f:ed:09:77:fc (unknown)
Network driver didn't actually change to the new MAC!!
2) Then copy and paste the New MAC to the cloned MAC of the connected wifi:76:9f:ed:09:77:fc
3) Then disconnect with the wifi. (IMPORTANT, Don't miss this)
4) Reboot the machine and check the current MAC address:
# macchanger -s wlan0
Current MAC: 76:9f:ed:09:77:fc (unknown)
Permanent MAC: 00:e0:4c:10:ed:53 (REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORP.)
This works, but this is very inconvinent though. I would be very happy if anyone could find a way to finish the MAC change without a reboot.
@YerongLi Can you please elaborate step number? I'm not sure what the cloned MAC is referenced to.
@YerongLi Could you show step 2 as it would be typed in linux? Just getting into linux and not quite getting step 2 with that way of explaining it.
@YerongLi @maxrugen can anyone please explain what you mean by step 2?

Tried in Kali, Did not work.

1. First generate a new MAC address with macchanger.
# macchanger -r wlan0 Current MAC: 00:e0:4c:10:ed:53 (REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORP.) Permanent MAC: 00:e0:4c:10:ed:53 (REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORP.) New MAC: 76:9f:ed:09:77:fc (unknown) Network driver didn't actually change to the new MAC!!
1. Then copy and paste the **New MAC** to the cloned MAC of the connected wifi:`76:9f:ed:09:77:fc` 2. Then disconnect with the wifi. (IMPORTANT, Don't miss this) 3. Reboot the machine and check the current MAC address:
# macchanger -s wlan0 Current MAC: 76:9f:ed:09:77:fc (unknown) Permanent MAC: 00:e0:4c:10:ed:53 (REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORP.)
This works, but this is very inconvinent though. I would be very happy if anyone could find a way to finish the MAC change without a reboot.
what is cloned mac bro?
I faced the same issue with REALTEK external-wifi dongle (maybe it has something to do with its inability to swap modes or any form of malleability) however
1) macchanger works on any eth port with no issue- and for wifi- 2) i switched over to RALINK device (via my ALFA network dongle- supports Monitor mode etc) The macchanger command worked on that-
maybe try (#crontab -e) command and put (@reboot macchanger -a wlan0) at the end - and then reboot and see if that helps- tbh its a lil bit of a hail mary- but worth a shot
I am also facing the same issue on my end. The

I was trying to do this method and to see the step 2, i thing of using the given video link. On opening it, getting video unavailable message. is anyone aware of how to perform the step 2?
Has anyone actually figured it out yet?
Did any of you get it fixed??

did you figure out this : Then copy and paste the New MAC to the cloned MAC of the connected wifi - ???
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-orY4fCoze4 - this video is not available -
So long as the drivers not the issue and is updated- and mine I got it working-
@reeboot macchanger-a wlan0
This was the workaround that worked for me- chrontab was the answer to my predicament

step number two is unclear
Every time I run macchanger I get this error
root@kali:~# macchanger -r wlan0 Current MAC: 00:e0:4c:10:ed:53 (REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORP.) Permanent MAC: 00:e0:4c:10:ed:53 (REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORP.) New MAC: 76:9f:ed:09:77:fc (unknown) Network driver didn't actually change to the new MAC!!
Before running macchanger I am running ifconfig wlan0 down
After macchanger I'd finish by using ifconfig wlan0 up If the darn thing would work.
I am using a USB Wifi adapter inside virtualbox. The adapter is made by Ourlink and has a Realtek rtl8192eu chipset. I have installed the driver using several different methods. I can use the wifi adapter and connect to the internet but when I run airmon-ng I get this.
root@kali:~# airmon-ng
PHY Interface Driver Chipset
null wlan0 ?????? Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Someone please help, I have about 18 hours of researching and testing with this issue to no avail. I am going insane. Thank you in advance. You'll be my hero for the month!
