mac address reassignment
root # ip link set dev wlan0 down root # ip link set dev wlan0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX root # ip link set dev wlan0 up
Note
confirmed working with actually dropping the network manager connections before hand... so note to completely disconnect from the router before running the commands.
Note
original mac address will return to the device upon network restart, alternate wifi ap selection, and possibly upon disconnect.
