Hello. My name is Grey, I am a beginner with Alpine Linux. I would like to know how I can change mac address on my PC running alpine linux 3.22 std. In Debian, I open the terminal and type "sudo crontab -e", I go to the bottom of the script and I add "@reboot macchanger -r wlan0", I save it, and when I reboot my PC, it changes mac address automatically. How can I do it in Alpine? Thank you very much for your kind help. Grey

:Hi [[User:Grey|Grey]], You can use the following command {{ic|$ apk search Cmd:macchanger}} to find the package that contains the command of interest i.e  {{ic|macchanger-1.7.0-r3}} . The output shows that the package name is {{pkg|macchanger}} and it can be installed using {{ic|# apk add macchanger}}. Please refer to [[apk]] page for more info. In future, please consider using other [[Support]] channels like [[IRC]] etc... -  [[User:Prabuanand|Prabuanand]] ([[User talk:Prabuanand|talk]]) 13:43, 15 September 2025 (UTC)
