mac address reassignment

root # ip link set dev wlan0 down
root # ip link set dev wlan0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
root # ip link set dev wlan0 up

   Note

confirmed working with actually dropping the network manager connections before hand... so note to completely disconnect from the router before running the commands.

   Note

original mac address will return to the device upon network restart, alternate wifi ap selection, and possibly upon disconnect.
