I installed ubuntu xfce 23.04 on a 2014 macbook pro 11.1.
I’ve been trying to change the mac address with the cli, the same way I do with my main computer (with systemctl, NetworkManager and ip link), but nothing works, even though sudo systemctl status NetworkManager.service shows the NetworkManager as disabled and ip link shows the network’s status as down
Bad luck and I cannot change the mac on any macboook?
ETA: on this computer there is a partition with macOS installed. Could this be the reason?
I would use OpenWRT documentation to get an idea of low level mechanisms and paths. This looks like a rabbit hole but your answer is probably somewhere around here and is just setting an alias somewhere:
