This issue I have is when I first boot my laptop (HP Envy Ubuntu 17.04) the wireless will not connect. If I cycle wireless button then I get a connection. I found that if I use the work-around described above (don't use random mac address) then it appears that I do not have this issue. One other point I also need to check.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1681513] Re: Ubuntu 17.04/17.10: New feature in NetworkManager stops several WiFi adapters from working (MAC Address Randomization issue)
Many, many thanks, Jesse, for the fix! I have been using an ASUS N-13 adaptor, and up to Ubuntu 17.04 had no trouble. At first I suspected the adaptor and bought another one - quite unnecessarily as it turns out. Fortunately I had my little old friend, an ASUS Eee (also running Ubuntu 17.04), to help me, and so I was able to use it to ferret about, finally ending up at your posting. It worked! Evidently - and fortunately for me - the "improvement" to the network manager doesn't affect the Eee wifi card. Couldn't agree more with the above comments about the irresponsibility of the development team in fielding such a vital piece of software without very careful and extensive testing. Shame on you lot!

@Marcos: Thanks for reporting that the same issue exists in current 17.10. There has been a change in the default settings in NetworkManager in upstream so that the MAC address randomization is not enabled by default. Currently, Ubuntu 17.10 (daily) has NetworkManager 1.4.4. I suppose it will get upgraded to 1.6.2 (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/NetworkManager) which most probably has the new change. @aleandro: Most probably something else is wrong with your case. If you can connect for a bit and soon you get disconnected, then definitely something else is the problem. Can you file another report for your case? You can do that by running in a terminal the command: ubuntu-bug network-manager and then follow the instructions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1681513 Title: Ubuntu 17.04/17.10: New feature in NetworkManager stops several WiFi adapters from working (MAC Address Randomization issue) Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: According to https://blogs.gnome.org/thaller/2016/08/26/mac-address-spoofing-in-networkmanager-1-4-0/ there is a new privacy feature in the new version of NetworkManager.
