Assumption of ifconfig for Linux #6

Closed dcousens closed 7 years ago

dcousens commented 9 years ago

Wasn't able to play with this due to its reliance on ifconfig, where I use iproute2. The equivalent commands to randomize your MAC using iproute2:

ip link set dev eth0 down
ip link set dev eth0 address `hexdump -n3 -e'/3 "00:60:2F" 3/1 ":%02X"' /dev/urandom`
ip link set dev eth0 up

Up to you if this information is useful or not, just putting it out there for others.

Thanks for the helpful note. What distribution are you using? Did you uninstall ifconfig?

Arch Linux, I never installed ifconfig.

@dcousens Can you send a PR for this?

dcousens commented 8 years ago

@feross don't have the time atm. Sorry :(

feross commented 8 years ago

It's all good, no problem

akiva commented 8 years ago

+1 on this point, if I get the chance in the next week or two, I will offer a PR.

dcousens commented 7 years ago

@akiva I might close, ping a PR if you think you're up for it

feross commented 7 years ago

I'll just add a note to the readme that this package requires ifconfig on Linux. If someone wants to send a PR later, that's always welcome.

+1 Manjaro / Arch Linux.
