!!**DISREGARD THIS POST, I OVERLOOKED THIS THREAD WHILE SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER BEFORE POSTING THIS**!!
Simply put:
1. airmon-ng wlan1 down
2. macchanger -r wlan1
3. iwconfig (it shows new random mac address assigned to wlan1)
4. connect to AP
5. iwconfig (it shows original manufacturer assigned mac address)
Am I misunderstanding the purpose of the macchanger program or is it not working properly with my wireless adapter?
