Usually I would be able to change my wifi mac address with the ifconfig command like :
ifconfig <iface> hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Ubuntu have however deprecated ifconfig in behalf of the "ip" command, so I was wondering if there is an way to get similar functionality using that command?

First run:
ip link show This will list your network devices. Find the one you want to change. Next, run:
sudo ip link set dev <your device here> down Then:
sudo ip link set dev <your device here> address <your new mac address> Finally:
sudo ip link set dev <your device here> up To change the MAC (Media Access Control) address of an eth0 network interface, use the following command with argument “hw ether“. For example, see below.
[root@tecmint ~]# ifconfig eth0 hw ether AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF use this article, i hope this very helpfull for you!
