It's not needed:
Code:
/etc/init.d/wlancond stop ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <mac address> ifconfig wlan0 up /etc/init.d/wlancond start

If you do as I said (stopping/starting wlancond) yes, provided that there's no mac filtering in place or the new mac is admitted.

I haven't seen it in other examples for changing the mac address in Linux?
Thanks.

Because wlancond is the daemon that manages wifi connections (that's not really standard) and if you don't restart it the tablet won't be able to connect to any ap.
