Macaroni interface

Macaroni interface is based on fdisk interface, if you have already used fdisk in the past it may be easier to understand. If you haven't don't worry, it's very easy to understand.

Using macaroni

Once macaroni is executed you will see this message (h for help), as you may guess typing h will output a list of options that that you can perform and a quick explain about what they do, however, I'll be explaining each option in a more detailed way.

Custom MAC Address

By pressing c you can enter a custom MAC Address, of course a valid one.

Entering you desired MAC Address needs to be in the following format:

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Example:

7a:5e:6d:70:28:2f

In case you need a valid MAC Address to enter you can generate one by pressing g

Generating a random MAC Address

When g is pressed it will output a random generated MAC Address, this is just an output, no changes are made when generating a MAC Address

New random MAC Address

Pressing n will generate a random MAC Address and it will be automatically set as your MAC Address. It also will output your new MAC Address.

Writing changes

As I mentioned before, when pressing g no changes are made into your system but once you enter a custom MAC Address when pressing c or change your MAC Address with n changes will be ready to be made, in order to confirm this changes you need to press w that stands for write/save.

Otherwise you can just quit without writing and no changes will be made. Remember to save your changes before quit with q.
