Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates.

I'm going to close this bug report as their is nothing else we can do
with this old report in a now unsupported version of Ubuntu.  If you
still have this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 or higher, please do reopen or
report a new bug.

Title:
  macchanger no longer works in 13.04

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After upgrading (fresh install) Lubuntu to 13.04, macchanger will not change the mac address for wlan0 on boot (eth0 works).
  Adding the lines:
  pre-up macchanger -e eth0
  pre-up macchanger -e wlan0

  to /etc/network/interfaces will hang boot times waiting for the
  network on 13.04. 12.04 will load fine with MACs changed.

  macchanger changes eth0 fine, and trying wlan0 in terminal reports
  device or resource busy.

  Using this startup script in 13.04 works for eth0 but not wlan0:
  ifconfig wlan0 down
  iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
  /usr/bin/macchanger -e wlan0
  ifconfig wlan0 up

  I am filing this under lubuntu-desktop because I'm not sure if this is
  an issue with Lubuntu or network-manager, as I do not know how I can
  test this.

  I have tried running software update, and the issue still persists.
