Ive never used macchanger ... but if all you want to do is run those three commands, in that order, just drop them into a text file and make it executable. (putting #!/bin/sh at the top is recommended)
If you want a menu icon you can use like Personal Menu or something to create one for the command, or create your own .desktop for it..

How do I make it executable? Do I need to change the extension?

Well I don't remember the normal filesystems of the N810. Something like this should work (as root):
You now have a new command "changemymac". It would have to be run as root though, so you'd need to pass it through to sudo gainroot or "root" in a .desktop file or Personal Menu launcher ala:
Code:
cat >> /usr/bin/changemymac << EOF #!/bin/sh ifconfig wlan0 down macchanger --r wlan0 ifconfig wlan0 up EOF chmod +x /usr/bin/changemymac
Code:
echo changemymac | root

So, if I make a .desktop after doing that, I would put sudo /usr/bin/changemymac for the exec and it should work?

I've never gotten sudo to work directly like that without making my own modifications to the sudoers file. I don't think the "user" user is able to run just any command with sudo. For the exec line I would try what I had above:
echo changemymac | sudo gainroot
or
echo changemymac | root

Another idea is if you do:
Instead, you should just be able to run "changemymac" as user and it'll run each of those commands as root.
Code:
cat > /usr/bin/changemymac << EOF #!/bin/sh echo ifconfig wlan0 down | root echo macchanger --r wlan0 | root echo ifconfig wlan0 up | root EOF chmod +x /usr/bin/changemymac

I should probably put a warning somewhere in this thread about running random scripts as root to be sure you know what you're doing and etc. etc. etc....
If your N810 kills your kitten after running my commands I take no responsibility... blah.

Awesome, the first way worked...just made a . desktop with an exec of exec= sudo /usr/bin/changemymac and it worked great. Only one issue, after i disconnect my connection and reconnect for the new mac to take effect, my sip account wont connect. when I do it the manual way in xterm it connects fine...any ideas why it wont connect?

ifconfig wlan0 down
macchanger --r wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 up
Basically what I'd like to do is to be able to click just one button to change the mac, rather than have to go through the whole process. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
