Hi, I just installed NetworkManager 1.2 in fedora 23 in the hopes that I can get mac randomization working. Only problem is there's no sign of a setting for this in nmcli or the applet. I found a reference to a setting on the NetworkManager.conf manpage which states: wifi.mac-address-randomization If left unspecified, MAC address randomization is disabled. But its not clear what range of values should be specified here. The nm-settings manpage suggests this is a valid way to turn on randomization:[connection] wifi.mac-address-randomization=2...in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf However, it has no effect. I'm not sure what I'm missing here.
Hi, How can you tell that it has no effect? See `man nm-settings`, or $ nmcli connection edit $WIFI_CONNECTION
describe wifi.mac-address-randomization
Verify the setting with $ nmcli connection show $WIFI_CONNECTION Setting default values in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf would work, for that you need to leave the per-connection value at "default". After editing the connection, you must always reload with `killall -SIGHUP NetworkManager`. mac-address-randomization requires support by Hardware and wpa- supplicant. On Fedora23 I get a failure and the logfile reads: device (wlp3s0): Activation: (wifi) couldn't build wireless configuration: 802-11-wireless: cannot enable mac-randomization due to missing supplicant support Thomas
