[ERROR] Could not change MAC: interface up or insufficient permissions: Operation not supported
pippo6996 opened this issue · comments
I've been trying to change the MAC address of my WI-FI card for some time but I can't and it keeps giving me this error: [ERROR] Could not change MAC: interface up or insufficient permissions: Operation not supported.
the ethernet card can be changed easily but the wi-fi card cannot be changed.
I tried doing this:
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sudo macchanger -r wlp2s0
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
even so:
ip link set dev wlp2s0 down
sudo macchanger -r wlp2s0
ip link set dev wlp2s0 up
but it doesn't work in any way.
I have a brodcam 43142.
Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help me
