MAC changes to permanent MAC when connected to a wireless network

Open TieBanss opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hello! I would be thankful if you could help me with this. my MAC seems to change.. If I check the MAC after doing the "ifconfig wlan0 up" my wlan0 has a new MAC address, but when I connect to any wireless network the MAC changes to the original one. I don't know what to do to connect to the wireless connection keeping the new MAC. Thanks in advance!

I am also getting the exact same issue even by changing mac address by in the root 'ifconfig wlan0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'.
