Hi Thomas,
Hi,
Oh, I didn't actually test mac-addr-randomization myself :) I am definitely interested whether it works for you (but I still expect it works, if wpa-supplicant has support).I made further test with another computer, but same OS. I got the same behavior, ie I couldn't randomize my mac address. That was the occasion to build against a more recent master version of wpa_supplicant.
So, you had the right version of wpa-supplicant but it didn't work? Could you send a logfile of NM with TRACE logging enabled?
As a side comment, If I use the "unsupported" wpa_supplicant version (ie the last stable), I cannot connect to the SSID if I ask for randomization (always) and I have this error: "active connection removed before it was initialized". Of course, this doesn't happen if I build wpa_supplicant from their master branch.
that would be expected, no? You should also see a message in the logfile: "Activation: (wifi) couldn't build wireless configuration: 802-11- wireless: cannot enable mac-randomization due to missing supplicant support" This is is what I get on Fedora 23.
If anybody has a chance to test this, I would be happy to hear about it, or if you have ideas/instructions to get a better understanding. Thanks. Best,
Thomas
