Bug Description
On my ubuntu phone (15.04, armhf architecture) macchanger does not work: trying to spoof the mac address in all possible ways, the answer is:
[ERROR] Could not change MAC: interface up or insufficient permissions: Operation not supported
The problem isn't in the interface because I have turned it off.
About the permissions, I run macchanger with writable file system, using sudo, being root user and in developer mode.
I think that spoofing is blocked on Ubuntu phone, when I try to change MAC by ifconfig, the answer is:
SIOCSIFHWADDR: Operation not supported
So I don't know if you will be able to do something.
In each case, thanks and have a happy new year!
