Bug ID: 495550
Summary: F40+ automatically randomizes wifi MAC addresses these
should be shown in the Cloned MAC address field
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.2.2
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_networkmanagement

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
F40+ enabled MAC address randomization by default. This can be seen with 'ip
addr'
2: wlp0s20f3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP
group default qlen 1000
link/ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permaddr
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
(where i've replaced identifying info with XX and YY)
The system settings "Wifi & Networking" panel has had the ability to
show/override the MAC address with the
"Cloned MAC address:" & "Randomize" button. But its not souring that info and
prepopulating the field as one would expect when the system picks an address.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install F41
2. Connect to a wifi network
3. open a terminal `ip addr`
4. See above output
5. Open system settings from network conneciton list/etc and look at connected
Wifi Network -> Wi-Fi option
6. Note that it has "_:_:_:_:_:_" rather than the link/ether
