Thank you very much for your help Mathieu. It is much appreciated. FYI I'm running an up to date Ubuntu 11.04 64bit.

I have appended your code at the end of my /etc/init/network-manager.conf file as you suggested and I followed your instructions in order to test it (I attached my network-manager.conf file to this post). The Cloned MAC address config box in NM was left blank for the test.

After restarting NM, the MAC address of my wlan0 device was successfully changed for the one submitted in the code as I could see by doing the ifconfig -a command. Unfortunately, the connection to the wireless network could not be completed with the faked MAC address ( similarly as observed when filling the Cloned MAC address dialog in NM). NM was trying to connect endlessly without any success.

What could I do next to help with this problem?

PS: The Cloned address feature in NW is definitively working on another laptop with Ubuntu 10.10 32bit installed.
