    macchanger >> Network driver didn't actually change to the new MAC!!

    Hi,

    I am NOT able to change the Wireless Adapter Mac Address in Kalli Linux using MacChanger.

    Before running macchanger I am running

    ifconfig wlan0 down

    macchanger -r wlan0

    ifconfig wlan0 up

    <output >>>
    Network driver didn't actually change to the new MAC!!

    Create a file and add the following:

    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
    Code:
    [Unit]
    Description=macchanger on %I
    Wants=network-pre.target
    Before=network-pre.target
    BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
    After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
    
    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/macchanger -e %I
    Type=oneshot
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    Code:
    sudo systemctl enable [email protected]
    Reboot and check.
