On Debian, Ubuntu, and similar systems, place the following in theĪppropriate section of /etc/network/interfaces (within an iface So I found this great article online explaining how to change a Mac Address permanently through the /etc/network/interfaces file on my Ubuntu. If the kernel reads an apparently invalid MAC address, it should first try reversing the bit-order.How might I be able to specifically change the Mac Address of the enp3s0 and wlp2s0 interfaces through the /etc/network/interfaces file? What code would I have to include inside? I have been trying for some time now without success sadly enough. The Network Working Group documented the issue in 1998 and provided the correct solution: reverse the bit order of the LAN adapter to restore it to canonical form. This is an old problem that has bee solved.

Scott James Remnant is correct: "The kernel need not pick a *RANDOM* MAC address, it could use one that's at least predictable" Status: D0 PME-Enable+ DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-Ĭapabilities: Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask+ 64bit+ Queue=0/3 Enable-Ĭapabilities: HyperTransport: MSI Mapping Region 0: Memory at dfffd000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Ĭapabilities: Power Management version 2įlags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold+)
