Change MAC address Android using ip link? I am trying to change the MAC address on a device running Android. It has been rooted and a command line installed ("ConnectBot"); I was looking around Google for methods of changing the MAC address on it and I found something called ip and ip link. Initially I thought I would use ifconfig but I haven't found the name of the network interface to change. 

How would this be done on an Android device?
As superuser run:

# netcfg


A list with the interfaces will appear. For example my interface was eth0

# ifconfig eth0 down
# ifconfig eth0 hw ether your:new:mac
# ifconfig eth0 up


Note that not all drivers support this operation, and the Android ifconfig do not support these commands. You will need another ifconfig executable, perhaps that from busybox will be suitable. 

After the reboot these changes are lost.
