[Bug 1681513] Re: Ubuntu 17.04: New privacy feature in NetworkManager stops some WiFi adapters from working (mac address randomization)
At 15th June 2017 under Ubuntu 17.04, upgraded to latest packages, I'm still struggling with wifi. All solutions proposed do not work. I have continuous disconnections. It is a bad bug for a new release.

I installed the future ubuntu 17.10 and found the same problem. Searching I found the following solution: 1) To stabilize the device: $ Sudo apt install dnsmasq-base $ Sudo service network-manager restart 2) To correct authentication error: $ Sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf Add in the end: [Device] Wifi.scan-rand-mac-address = no $ Sudo service network-manager restart After this procedure, it worked perfectly. I consider the solution provisional and I hope they will correct it soon.

The solution in comment #1 fixed this for me as well. I'm running 17.04 and am hosting a hotspot on a ThinkPenguin Wireless N USB Adapter.

I am also affected by this bug. I was about to delete Ubuntu 17.04 and rollback to Mint 18.1 after many hours of fight. This one line makes magic, but I had to read thousands of lines before finding it. My Wifi USB is Ralink (now Mediatek). I am using hidden ssid and mac filtering+WPA2 Personal on router. On laptop integrated Intel Wifi no issue. Ubuntu team - please do not make such mistakes !

[Bug 1681513] Re: Ubuntu 17.04: New privacy feature in NetworkManager stops some WiFi adapters from working (mac address randomization)
@Don Cady: The source of the problem is the Linux kernel driver for the specific WiFi adapter or perhaps the firmware of the WiFi adapter. In most of the drivers, they have implemented the facility to change (by software) the MAC address. There are even tools to change the MAC address, like "macchanger". Or, you can even use "ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55". Or, you can change it with NetworkManager, a facility available for many years already. A WiFi card can support many other interesting features, including "AP Mode" (make your Ubuntu act like an Access Point), and "Monitor" mode (using those Aircrack tools). However, it takes effort to reverse- engineer AP Mode or Monitor mode, so many adapters do not support these features. It is much more common in USB adapters not to have full support for these features, and in some cases it is a deficiency in the firmware (firmware files: /lib/firmware/, and nothing can be done about it). It is not clear how widespread is the problem. If you are reporting, please include which kernel driver is used for the WiFi and also what firmware is loaded. @wolfy1339: I think the MS Surface Pro has an (internal) USB WiFi card and uses the kernel driver "mwifiex_usb". Have a look in "lsmod". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1681513 Title: Ubuntu 17.04: New privacy feature in NetworkManager stops some WiFi adapters from working (mac address randomization) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1681513/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
