You have been subscribed to a public bug: 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? ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Incomplete -- Network Manager Cloned MAC Address feature fails on WPA Wireless Networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
