Version: 1.7.0-5.3
Severity: important
Hello, network-manager always resets mac address to permanent. I've tried to
set it manually by macchanger +A wlan0. It works, but during making conection
network-manager resets address to permanent from /var/log/syslog
NetworkManager[6630]: <info> (wlan0): reset MAC address to xxx Automatic
changing by macchanger doesnt work as well. I've patched ifupdown.sh, but it
brought no success. I always have permanent mac adress. Any solutions? Thank
you in advance. Kind regards
