Use macchanger.

This is the sample command:

macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan0

This can be configured in Network Manager nowadays. Below is a screenshot in KDE (Kubuntu), but this should be very similar in regular Ubuntu (Unity).

just fyi put in the cloned address field on linux mint not the actual mac address field. even though you can type in both fields. works like a charm and so simple :) used it to get my chromecast to work at a hotel that required a login screen, cloned my chromecast on the laptop then fired up the chromecast once the mac address was accepted. – flyingdrifter Dec 19 '17 at 16:19
