That would be because there's no executable in your $PATH with the name macconfig. You probably wanted to use macchanger.Originally Posted by centurion678

I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
ifconfig <interface> down
macchanger -m 00:11:22:33:44:66 wlan0
the command is called macchanger, not macconfig.
