Hostapd doesn't work after a mac address change

[Noob ody]

Hello

I'm trying to setup a evil twin AP using hostapd and dnsmasq. Without changing the MAC address, i was able to connect to it with my other device but as soon as i changed MAC address of my wireless interface hostapd doesn't seem to work anymore. Any kind of help would be appreciated.

CHi kdodge

Thanks for replying.

Here are the commands I am using:

ifconfig wlan0 down

macchanger -r wlan0

ifconfig wlan0 up

systemctl stop NetworkManager

systemctl stop wpa_supplicant

hostapd hostapd.conf

dnsmasq -C dnsmasq.conf -d

ifconfig wlan0 1920168.43.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

I tried  using "hostapd hostapd.conf -dd" command instead to get debug information and the following was it's output:
