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.

wpa_supplicant only gained the necessary functionality that
NetworkManager looks for back in late October 2015.  It was committed
after wpa_supplicant 2.5 but it appears there hasn't been a release
since then.  But once that happens, or if you build supplicant version
from git, NM will begin to use that capability if you've enable it in
the NM configuration.
