Should be possible with ifconfig. First bring down your WLAN, or make sure it isn't in use.
Then, as root:
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
Then, as root:
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:00

there is macchanger in extras-devel, but be sure you know what you're doing, because extras-devel includes software that is untested, unstable and might brick your device, proceed with caution, you have been warned.

Is there a way to set it up so that the mac address gets automatically changed on start-up?

Put it in an upstart script.

I wrote a little handy script that help me a lot when needing a new mac fast on my n900 (its just bash so it works on every linux dist that names their vlan interface wlan0):
Create a file in /usr/bin/ called macchanger, make it executable:
chmod +x /usr/bin/macchanger
edit /usr/bin/macchanger and insert this text:
#!/bin/bash
echo "they block my mac"
ifconfig wlan0 down
ole=`ifconfig wlan0|grep HWaddr|awk '{print $5}'`
one=`df |md5sum |awk '{print }'|grep -o ..`
two=`free |md5sum |grep -o ..`
thr=`ps auxww |md5sum |grep -o ..`
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:1F
F:`echo $one`:`echo $two`:`echo $thr`
new=`ifconfig wlan0|grep HWaddr|awk '{print $5}'`
ifconfig wlan0 up
echo $ole "->" $new
echo "i fist their fish"
Reason i am using 3 strings md5sumed is to get decent randomization as this is hard to accomplish in bash

F:xx). Tried changing to:Code:
one=`df |md5sum |awk '{print }'|head -c 2`
two=`free |md5sum |head -c 2`
thr=`ps auxww |md5sum |head -c 2`
