Bug ID: 448052
Summary: Details window seems to show (own) "permanent" mac but
should show own "used" mac address (or more relevant
mac address like bssid)
Product: plasma-nm
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: applet
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Even so using a cloned mac address for a connection details dialog shows device
mac address (ethtool -P) rather than currently used mac address. This seems
wrong to me.
It might even be better to show (only or in addition) bssid (see bug 357354)
for wifi connections.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up a (wifi) connection with cloned mac address
2. Connect using this connection
3. Check details and compare to ifconfig information
OBSERVED RESULT
Mac addresses differ: nm-plasma seems to display "wrong" mac address
EXPECTED RESULT
Mac addresses are identical, nm-plasma uses actual used mac address
