Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Can't establish a wired connection via NM with MAC address other than
default.
Steps to repeat:
1. Go to NM connection settings.
2. Create a new wired connection with a determined MAC other than your card's
or edit the auto created connection.
What happens:
1. The connection with the determined MAC disappears from the list of available
ones (in the menu by left click on the applet).
2. If you have no more connections with the default MAC (i.e. you edited MAC in
the auto created connection), NM creates a new connection with the default MAC.
3. MAC indicated for the network interface in gnome-network remains the same.
What should happen:
1. Connections with any determined MACs should be displayed as available ones.
2. If one of these is established, MAC for the appropriate interface should be
changed (and seen in gnome-network)
