Public bug reported:
After upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, my MAC address for my Ethernet
connection was changed to a default value. My actual MAC address for the
device is not used. I have confirmed this by upgrading two separate
laptops, and both had their Ethernet device MAC addressed changed to the
same default value. Neither were able to connect to a restricted LAN
without adding this (new) MAC address to the MAC filters.
The first laptop uses a wireless connection (using broadcom restricted
drivers), and the second laptop uses wired Ethernet connection.
When booting to recovery terminal, the MAC address is the correct
(original) value.
NetworkManager.conf contains the following:
no-auto-default=aa:00:04:00:0a:04
I removed this, but this did not change anything. Both laptops now have
a MAC address of aa:00:04:00:0a:04
