(Updated Aug. 16, 2015, 12:33 a.m.) Review request for Network Management. Changes ------- Implement changes as per comments Repository: plasma-nm Description ------- Randomly generated MAC addresses aren't truly random; they should have an even first octet (LSB set to 0) to signify that this is an Unicast address, and the second least-significant-bit should be set to 1 to specify that it is a locally administered MAC, not a globally enforced one. Setting the Multicast bit (current behaviour half the time) will result in the kernel refusing to set the randomly generated MAC address, with a small entry in Journalctl/Syslog: [platform/nm-linux-platform.c:2782] do_change_link(): platform-linux: do-change-link: failure changing link 3: Invalid address for specified address family (19) This small patch fixes random MAC generation for both Wired and WiFi connections Diffs (updated) ----- libs/editor/settings/wificonnectionwidget.cpp d22fda0 libs/editor/settings/wiredconnectionwidget.cpp 80523ef Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/124747/diff/ Testing ------- Builds, correctly generates random MACs with last two bits of first octet set to 10, saves said MAC. Thanks, Boudhayan Gupta
