Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.
I'm going to close this bug report as their is nothing else we can do with this old report in a now unsupported version of Ubuntu. If you still have this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 or higher, please do reopen or report a new bug. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1180929 Title: macchanger no longer works in 13.04 Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After upgrading (fresh install) Lubuntu to 13.04, macchanger will not change the mac address for wlan0 on boot (eth0 works). Adding the lines: pre-up macchanger -e eth0 pre-up macchanger -e wlan0 to /etc/network/interfaces will hang boot times waiting for the network on 13.04. 12.04 will load fine with MACs changed. macchanger changes eth0 fine, and trying wlan0 in terminal reports device or resource busy. Using this startup script in 13.04 works for eth0 but not wlan0: ifconfig wlan0 down iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor /usr/bin/macchanger -e wlan0 ifconfig wlan0 up I am filing this under lubuntu-desktop because I'm not sure if this is an issue with Lubuntu or network-manager, as I do not know how I can test this. I have tried running software update, and the issue still persists.
