[Q] [CLONE] MAC Address Keeps Changing? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have recently bought a N7100 MTK6577 off the website dhgate.
It is an off-brand Note II and runs on Android 4.1.2.
I have found that the MAC address changes on each reboot of the device, which is a major problem since my campus only allows a few physical addresses per student. I haven't found a way to keep the MAC address static. I have thought of spoofing the MAC so that I'd spoof it to the same one every time, but I'm new to tinkering with phones so I'm a bit cautious.
If anyone can help or suggest the best and most pain-free course of action, please contact me as soon as you can.

That's strange as Mac address should be assigned to specific network adapter.
However the procedure of changing mac is like this.
1.Install some terminal emulator
2.Install newest busybox (some roms require installation after reboot).
3.Grant the terminal su access by typing su
4.type in the text like in screenshot (don't hit enter)
5.Now quickly turn on wifi and hit enter in the terminal.
Here's screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now Your Mac address should be changed, however it takes some practice to learn the perfect moment to hit enter.
And here's proof that it works:
