I've tried changing my MAC address using macchanger and ifconfig methods but neither of these will reflect changes on my eth0 connection in Network Connections.
Here are the exact commands I used which failed ( used actual addresses and not X's ), which I got from a link on another Mint forum post:
Code: Select all
sudo macchanger -m XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX eth0
Code: Select all
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
Or if this is something I can read up on myself please point to a resource; I'm having trouble locating information pertaining to how the connections in Network Connections are stored and changed in the file system. Or if I'm in over my head and I don't know what I'm talking about what should be my starting point?
Thank you.
