**Make sure you get the right iface names**
**Get the right iface names**
It is crucial to get the correct **iface name** for the devices (ethernet and wifi) that you want to randomize. To do
that, open your `sys-net` (or where your device drivers are) and type in `terminal` the command `ifconfig` the printout
will look similar to:

open your `sys-net` (or wherever your device drivers are) and type in `terminal` the command `ifconfig` the printout

The **iface name** values you're interested in are `enp0s0` and `wlp0s1` as those represent your ethernet and wifi
devices, respectively.
Also, in this blob of text is your **actual MAC addresses** which you will use to verify the randomizing is working
correctly. In this example, those addresses are `ether 9e:d6:53:02:4b:b6` and `ether 06:6d:70:a8:7b:35` respectively.

In this example, the ethernet and wifi addresses are `ether 9e:d6:53:02:4b:b6` and `ether 06:6d:70:a8:7b:35`
respectively. *Copy these MAC addresses down somewhere for later.*
Now, go back to your `fedora-23` TemplateVM and use the `touch` command to create service files in the appropriate
place, note that the `iface name` values at the end:

Your MAC address should now randomize each time you restart your computer or restart the `sys-net` VM. To verify this
for sure, go back to your `sys-net` or device VM and type `ifconfig` and look at the values that start with `ether` such
as `ether 9e:d6:53:02:4b:b6` which should now look different.
**Verify it works**
Go back to your `sys-net` VM terminal, type `ifconfig` and look at the values starting with `ether` such as `ether
9e:d6:53:02:4b:b6` which should now look different from the previous values.
Your MAC address should now randomize each time you restart your computer or restart the `sys-net` VM.
