Bug ID: 456119
Summary: Networks widget does not reveal correct mac after mac
spoofing
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.25.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: applet
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: ilabsentu...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The plasma networks widget has an option which shows details about the current
connection. Among those details the mac address. If this mac address has been
changed, either using a tool like macchanger or the cloning mac option in
plasma-nm this mac address change is not reflected on details view, even though
the changed mac address is indeed in use.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change mac address
2. Reconnect to the network
3. See that the mac address in the Details view always remains as the original
one
4. (Optional) Use a tool like wireshark or the command "ip link" and verify
that the mac being used is the changed one and not the original.
OBSERVED RESULT
Apparently the widget seems to show only the original mac address and not the
current mac address.
EXPECTED RESULT
The mac address to be shown in details view should be the one that is really in
use.
