I'm using a yocto arm build of NetworkManager 1.32.10 on an embedded device. There is a broadcom network device attached over PCIe that comes up with a MAC of 00:00:00:00:00:00 on network device enp1s0, and I am trying to manage it with NetworkManager. I set cloned-mac-address to the mac that I want to assign to it. However when I try to bring it up I get this helpful error:
# nmcli con up ethernet-enp1s0 Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device enp1s0 not available because device is not available). If I set the MAC to something else with "ip link set dev enp1s0 addr <mac>" first, then the nmcli con up succeeds and sets the mac to the value specified in cloned-mac-address. Is there a way to get this to work on boot with just NetworkManager? My nmconnection file: [connection] id=ethernet-enp1s0 uuid=28e8dabf-ea87-4b3c-81f4-8db3bfa10886 type=ethernet interface-name=enp1s0 permissions= [ethernet] cloned-mac-address=00:11:22:33:44:55 mac-address-blacklist= [ipv4] dns-search= method=disabled [ipv6] addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy dns-search= method=disabled [proxy] -- *—* *Aaron Brice* | aaron.br...@nikolamotor.com [image: Nikola Logo] NIKOLA CORPORATION | nikolamotor.com 4141 E Broadway R <https://goo.gl/maps/bKfEzApeDMErgi4e7>d <https://goo.gl/maps/bKfEzApeDMErgi4e7>| <https://goo.gl/maps/bKfEzApeDMErgi4e7> <https://goo.gl/maps/bKfEzApeDMErgi4e7>Phoenix | AZ | 85040 <https://goo.gl/maps/bKfEzApeDMErgi4e7> [image: -] <https://www.facebook.com/nikolamotorcompany> [image: -] <https://twitter.com/nikolamotor> [image: -] <https://www.youtube.com/c/nikolamotorcompany> [image: -] <https://www.linkedin.com/company/nikola-motor-company/> [image: -] <https://www.instagram.com/nikolamotorcompany/> INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS E-MAIL TRANSMISSION IS CONFIDENTIAL.
