Does not change MAC randomly at startup #55

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Im am currently using a Linux Mint 19.2 distro for Macchanger. Cinnamon Version - 4.2.3 Linux Kernel 5.0.0-25 generic

Macchanger version 1.7.0-5.3 build1

Whenever I boot up Linux It does not do that despite going with the yes option when I installed the package to do so. Instead my actual MAC Address is the one it uses. I do find it annoying having to do the terminal commands to do this every single time. Can there be a function request on being able to switch that around?

Another question if I made a specific mac address using the -p option shouldn't it stay instead of resetting every time i turn off my PC and reboot Linux? If not can there be a function added for that? I looked up help via macchanger -h but it doesn't say much, especially for those of those not experienced in such things.

Same issue. No random MAC change at startup or when the interface is taken down & up.

OS: Ubuntu 21.10 kernel 5.15.2
