Wow, I'd forgotten about this report. Thanks for the response, though!
Anyway, the computer in question went to the great datacenter in the sky
about half a year ago. I won't be able to test against Jaunty.
However, looking back, I'm inclined to say that this actually isn't a
bug with net-tools. Modifications made with ifconfig aren't supposed to
persist across reboots, and from what I can tell, modifications followed
by suspend-to-ram aren't guaranteed to persist either.
If I had to provide advice to the 2007 version of myself, I would say to make
sure that the
desired MAC address is set in /etc/network/interfaces, and that
/etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf contains "DownInterfaces auto" and "UpInterfaces
auto". That combination should result in resuming with the correct MAC
address.
So, in summary, I filed a bug report against behavior that I actually
didn't understand back in 2007. I no longer believe that this is a bug
with net-tools (or any other package in Ubuntu Gutsy). Again, thanks
for responding to the report.
** Changed in: net-tools (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Invalid
