Hi poma, I wanted to reply to this thread, explaining what I changed there... I forgot, ... on master (upcoming 1.4.0) wpa-supplicant is no longer used to randomize MAC addresses. Instead it's done by NetworkManager. Also, this also works now with ethernet, not only Wi-Fi. Again, randomization during Wi-Fi scanning is enabled by default. It can be disabled per-device via NetworkManager.conf: [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no See `man NetworkManager.conf`. For randomzation during connection, the wifi.mac-address-randomization setting is deprecated (but still used in case you have old connections on disc). Now, you configure instead wifi.cloned-mac-address (or ethernet.cloned- mac-address). See `man nm-settings`. nmcli connection modify $MY_WIFI wifi.cloned-mac-address stable Related expert options are: * per-connection (man nm-settings): - "connection.stable-id", which affects the generated ID for with "cloned-mac-address=stable". If you have multiple connections that should generate the same MAC address. - "wifi.generate-mac-address-mask", "ethernet.generate-mac-address-mask" * per-device (man NetworkManager.conf): - "wifi.scan-generate-mac-address-mask" Thomas
