I want to change the MAC address of a external wifi adapter. Tried changing adapter options under advanced tab there is no "Physical Address" option to change. Tried using 3rd party mac changer software, but it failed to change the MAC too. However on a linux system running these terminal commands:

ip link set dev wifi0 down
ip link set dev wifi0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
ip link set dev wifi0 up

Successfully changed the MAC address, but that's on linux and I wanted a solution for Windows 10, so I installed kali bash linux subsystem for windows. I have installed everything and set admin/root user. When I run the Terminal and type sudo su it ask me for password so I enter password and everything is fine as showed:

root@DESKTOP-PC:/home/username#

Now when I try to use the command from above:

ip link set dev wifi0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Says error: RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's a windows issue. If the adapter cannot be change on Windows but can on linux change it on linux. MAC address can only be change in memory not on regular network hardware.

This is a Windows issue with WSL confirmed here. You need to run the Windows Subsystem for Linux with elevated permissions. The subsystem does not have permission to make changes to the configuration of the Host system and for good reasons!

@kemotep That link does not seem about changing a MAC address. I highly doubt it is possible as WSL only provides a limited view on the Windows HAL. And if you have to elevate it for some other reason, at the end of the day IT IS a Windows issue.

@RuiFRibeiro, I found it searching the specific error user Hyian Myson reported and that error is resolved by running the WSL.exe as Admin. I will admit I was hasty in prescribing that has a solution and you are quit right it is not about changing the MAC but it does involve using ip link. This is a Windows issue, however in the future do you think any WSL posts will be relevant here and not actually be a fault with Windows?
