How to change MAC address in Linux
First find the physical MAC address of your machine by running the following command :
$ ifconfig -a | grep HWaddr eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:48:BA:d1:20
The hexadecimal numbers in blue denote my machine's MAC address. Yours will be different. Learn how to use the ifconfig Linux command.
You can also use ethtool to find the hardware address of your machine.
Next, login as root in Linux and enter the following commands -
# ifconfig eth0 down # ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:80:48:BA:d1:30 # ifconfig eth0 up # ifconfig eth0 |grep HWaddr
I have changed the MAC address to a different number highlighted in blue. 00:80:48:BA:d1:30 is the new MAC address I have provided for my Linux machine. You can choose any 48 bits hexadecimal address as your MAC address.

NB: I changed everything to try or not the two 00: initial and worked at 100x100 even after restart the deco or even turned off and turned on again by the current. ----------------------------
