My wifi won't connect to my router after I performed my weekly update to my
forky system. I was able
to connect after I turned off the MAC filter on my router.
Is something broken with the system, or is my MAC address now being randomized
and I have to take
action to make it stop doing that (on my home network).
I tried setting the network's Identify > Cloned Address to both preserve and
permanent to no avail.
Hello Bill,
(Unfortunately, network knowledge is not my strong point).
You may be interested in the Archlinux wiki page on MMAC rondomization
to investigate the reason for a possible randomization:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MAC_address_spoofing
this page also leads to this one:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dhcpcd#Client_ID
it should be easy to verify if a different value of Client ID solves
your problem
