Just to follow up on this, Julien and I were also talking on linux- wireless@. He said: "I have my wifi AP set to only accept a whitelist of MAC addresses so it makes sense that I can't connect if the MAC address is random." So yeah, he's MAC filtering, and randomization should be disabled. Dan > -- note, your AP might be configured to filter by MAC address.
