I have a problem when I make macchanger -p wlan0. When I check with Macchanger It seems the Mac is changed to the original but when i do ifconfig wlan0, MAC is another random MAC

Ok. I solved the problem reading the forum...

Whatever option you choose, in the text editor, add the following lines: Code:


[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

[connection]
ethernet.cloned-mac-address=preserve
wifi.cloned-mac-address=preserve

Then save the file, and inside the terminal, restart NetworkManager by typing in: Code:

service network-manager restart
