xubuntu 13.10 32bit, Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 (Broadcom chipset) Cloned MAC via Network Manager does not work on WPA2-protected network.
Macchanger setup (per official ubuntu documentation on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AnonymizingNetworkMACAddresses) does not work. Haven't tried any other configurations yet. This feature needs more attention in the post-Snowden era. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787192 Title: Network Manager Cloned MAC Address feature fails on WPA Wireless Networks Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: wpasupplicant On Ubuntu 11.04 wpasupplicant version 0.7.3-0ubuntu1 I am attempting to connect to a WPA protected Wireless Acess Point and when I use the Cloned MAC Address feature in Network Manager the connection fails to establish. Googling I have found a possible cause/solution here ==> http://markmail.org/message/5ary4cvzlirvro73 Which States: The new NetworkManager has implemented MAC spoofing feature just for this purpose. In connection editor, on 'Wireless' tab there is a new edit box 'Cloned MAC address'. If you put your desired MAC here, it will be set on an interface when the connection is activated. And you don't need to change your MAC in udev or any other way. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447827 Unfortunately, there is still one glitch in wpa_supplicant that causes WPA connections don't work. I've sent a patch to hostap mailing list fixing that, but no reply yet. Is it possible to chase down the patch and provide a ppa with a fix to wpa_supplicant?
