Why can't I spoof my wifi card's MAC address to 1F:2E:3D:4C:5B:6A. Is that address invalid?
root@:~# ifconfig wlan0 down
root@:~# ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 1f:2e:3d:4c:5b:6a
SIOCSIFHWADDR: Cannot assign requested address

As explained in this AskUbuntu question/answer, a unicast MAC address' first octet (your 1f) has to be even.
Since 1f (31) is not even, you can't assign it.
