Easiest way to change mac address on nic is:

sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether  xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
sudo ifconfig eth0 up

Where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx represent mac address

For wlan

sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo ifconfig wlan0 hw ether  xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

Ubuntu no longer has ifconfig installed by default. Not sure why this question doesn't allow updates. See askubuntu.com/questions/81648/…
