Hi Chris, Thanks for reporting back. There are three manual pages (1) nm-settings (2) nm-settings-keyfile (3) nm-settings-ifcfg-rh Mostly they are similar, but (1) describes the properties on the D-Bus API (2) the properties in keyfile format (3) the properties in ifcfg-rh format what does not exist, is (4) nm-settings-nmcli (how are the properties call in nmcli) the property wifi.assigned-mac-address exists only on the D-Bus API (1). It was added there, because the existing wifi.cloned-mac-address property could not be extended to support the new options. On all other occasions, there exists only wifi.cloned-mac-address. That's what it's called in nmcli and NetworkManager.conf. Note that nmcli and `man NetworkManager.conf` does not mention wifi.assigned-mac-address. That is all expected. ciao, Thomas
