ifconfig

I'm trying to spoof my Mac Address on a modified version of linux (Android). The main problem is that because it has been stripped down, the ifconfig command has been stripped out, and I only can use the 'ip' busybox command.

I've been trying to use

ip link set address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx dev tiwlan0

but I get the error,

ip: socket: Operation not permitted

Any help?
