Public bug reported:
Am having no issues making MAC-address changes to a wired adapter, only
to the wireless adapters.
Have replicated problem on two PCs (Ubuntu 13.04, updated as of Sept 5
2013). On both PCs, have tried two wireless adapters, one internal, the
other USB. Same result.
On one PC, the internal wireless presents as 'eth1' and the USB as
'wlan0'. On the second, the internal presents as 'wlan0' and the USB
as 'wlan1'. But same result.
Problem occurs when using either Macchanger (GNU MAC changer v1.5.0) or
"sudo ifconfig wlan0 down / sudo ifconfig wlan0 hw ether
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" in Terminal. Macchanger gives error "Can't change
MAC: interface up or not permission: Invalid argument", while Terminal
gives error "SIOCSIFHWADDR: Invalid argument". Same on both PCs.
I note the similarity to Bug #1180929, reported on on 2013-05-16. Reports also
appear in Ubuntu forums at:
