Hi, i use Mint 20.1 and the guides in the net don't work.
My network card (ethernet) always stays with original address.
In W10 dual boot i can change it, instead.
Any idea please?

I think that is a good thing and you should not change it, but maybe you have a reason.My network card (ethernet) always stays with original address.

Re: Cannot change MAC address
It seems you missed the difference between IP address and MAC address - it's quite puzzling that you linked this article How To Change IP Address on Linux.mikeflan wrote: ⤴Sun May 09, 2021 8:43 pm Try these methods and tell us where it goes wrong:

Hi, done75, you didn't say which guides you tried and what you did exactly. Anyway, please look at one of two methods on this page How to Change MAC Address in Linux . Same here: How To Change MAC address In Linux - OSTechNix

I tried both your guides, unsuccessfully.
I ask myself if my network card doesn't permit that. But in W10 MAC address changed easy.
Re: Cannot change MAC address
You did say nothing about your card.
