Attempting to change the mac address on Ubuntu 17.10 using macchanger however this is the result:



 ole@mki$ sudo macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan0
[ERROR] Set device name: No such device


Thoughts?



Per the comment I ran iwconfig and it turns out that it's wlo1 now. Thanks @Jeremy.

  • Your wireless interface is likely not wlan0 as iwconfig will confirm.

  • Indeed - Good answer - I've been used to using ifconfig, but it looks like it's deprecated.

You may want to check results for iwconfig as wlan0 will not exist by default because of Predicatable Interface Naming and make necessary adjustments to your macchanger command
