Hi, My wifi works (thanks for bwtnguy who pointed me to the issue) However when I turn on wifi.cloned-mac-address=stable The NM does not connect to wifi anymore. My driver is wl. I use it with BCM4331 chip wifi card. debian bullseye (NetworkManager==1.30.0 wpa_supplicant==v2.9) Is this a known issue? Is there a fix for this ?
Hi, this is a known issue, the Broadcom wl driver doesn't work well if the MAC is changed. Unfortunately the driver is closed and so only Broadcom can fix this problem. According to this [1] the 'b43' open source driver supports BCM4331. You could try if it works better. [1] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx Beniamino
