I'm on ubuntu karmic and here adding a "pre-up sudo ifconfig wlan0 hw
ether xx:xx:xx:xx" to the /etc/network/interfaces file doesn't work.

So could anyone please point me to an alternative way of changing the mac 
address of wlan0 before it and networkmanager start up?
setting it after networkmanager has started messes up things aswell (not being 
able to connect anymore etc), so I have to kill the interface and 
networkmanager, then change the mac, then start everything again which 
obviously isn't the best solution. plus as someone above pointed out, the 
original mac is already out when the interface has been started and you change 
it afterwards.
now, how can i achieve that at boot, without the pre-up?
