Assumption of ifconfig for Linux

See original GitHub issue

Wasn’t able to play with this due to its reliance on ifconfig, where I use iproute2. The equivalent commands to randomize your MAC using iproute2:

ip link set dev eth0 down
ip link set dev eth0 address `hexdump -n3 -e'/3 "00:60:2F" 3/1 ":%02X"' /dev/urandom`
ip link set dev eth0 up

Up to you if this information is useful or not, just putting it out there for others.

I’ll just add a note to the readme that this package requires ifconfig on Linux. If someone wants to send a PR later, that’s always welcome.
