Method 1: This is the easiest way as someone already come up with a software for this purpose, Technitium MAC Address Changer. Technitium MAC Address Changer allows you to change (spoof) Media Access Control (MAC) Address of your Network Interface Card (NIC) irrespective to your NIC manufacturer or its driver. However, I could not comment more on this as I personally have not try before.
Method 2: This might not works well on all adapter. But, this prolly can be done on Ethernet adapter settings. As simple as 3 steps only taken.
Opening up the Registry Editor:
Navigate to the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\
And now, you will see a lot of sub-folder named with 0000, 0001, 0002 and so on. Look through each of the numbered folder (0000 - 00XX) and check for the Driver Description to see which folder is matching your current wireless adapter.
In my case, it will be the first folder with numbered 0000! Right click on the right panel and create a new string value with the name "NetworkAddress" if it does not exist.
Double click on the newly created "NetworkAddress", and fill in your desired MAC address.
NOTE: Windows only allowed MAC Address with "2", "6", "A" or "B" for the second octet in MAC address. So replace the "X" value to one of the options available above.
Last step to do is to reboot your computer OR just simply disable and enable your Wireless adapter.
To ease things up, I actually write a small program on my own in C++. Please do note that the program needs to be run as admin privilege as it involve changes in registry.
Let's check on my original MAC Address value:
Now start my little program to generate a new MAC address:
Verify the changes on MAC Address using "ipconfig /all":
