you'll likely need to have the interface down before changing mac:
sudo ifconfig eth1 down
sudo ifconfig eth1 hw ether <random mac>
sudo ifconfig eth1 up / or dhclient / or pump / or ...

however, if an attacker has access to read this locally they've
already compromised you to a degree that random mac affords no
protection...

(remember mac only visible on link-local or host)
