    First of all, thanks to the community for the support. My problem is this. I need to change the mac address of my wifi device but I can't. The model of the wifi device is TL-WN7200ND. I have only been able to change the mac address using ubuntu 14.04 by modifing the interfaces file: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

    # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    pre-up ifconfig wlan0 hw ether AA:BB:CCD:EE:FF
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    However, I did the same in Linux Deepin and wireless crashes after rebooting.
    I have already tried with this also....
    sudo ifconfig down
    sudo ifconfig wlan0 hw ether AA:BB:CCD:EE:FF
    sudo ifconfig wlan0 up...
    The mac address changed, but when it tries to connect to the wifi hotspot it immediately turns back to the default mac address

    I want to know why modifing the interfaces file in Ubuntu works and in Linux Deepin doesn't?. I want to modify the system to change the mac address in the booting proccess. Thanks I hope you can help me.

    Please enter the Network model in Deepin Control Centre to set the mac address.

    Please enter the Network model in Deepin Control Centre to set the mac address.

    The mac address set from the Control Center does not seem to override the original mac, even after rebooting the system.
