I'm using alfa network awus036ach and is working well but i want to change my mac address and when i give this command it gives me an error.

sudo macchanger -r wlan1

Current MAC: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (ALFA, INC.) Permanent MAC: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (ALFA, INC.) [ERROR] Could not change MAC: interface up or insufficient permissions: Operation not permitted

a little late, try this ifconfig wlan1 down macchanger -r wlan1 ifconfig wlan1 up

Possible fixes: 1#It pops up if the interface (wlan0) is already in use in another window. - stop the other program/process using the wireless interface. 2# try with "sudo" in front - as I now see you tried. 3# do as the comment above said, take down the interface and change the mac address manually: ifconfig wlan1 down macchanger --random --bia wlan1 ifconfig wlan1 up

Explanation: --random = random maccaddress,
--bia = pretends to be a real burned in mac address.
