There is a more elegant workaround which allows to run macchanger before
network-manager is started and doesn't require /etc/init/network-
manager.conf to be modified (which could cause problems on upgrades).
Simply create /etc/init/macchanger.conf with the following contents (without
the "snip" lines):
--------------------snip--------------------
# macchanger - set MAC addresses
#
# Set the MAC addresses for the network interfaces.
description "change mac addresses"
start on starting network-manager
pre-start script
/usr/bin/macchanger -e wlan0
/usr/bin/macchanger -e eth0
/usr/bin/macchanger -e wmaster0
/usr/bin/macchanger -e pan0
#/usr/bin/logger wlan0 `/usr/bin/macchanger -s wlan0`
#/usr/bin/logger eth0 `/usr/bin/macchanger -s eth0`
end script
--------------------snip--------------------
upstart will then make sure that the script is run before network-
manager is started (that's what the "starting network-manager" line is
about).
This helped me, because the workaround by editing
/etc/network/interfaces didn't work for me, so hopefully this helps
others too!
