Jesse, I do not have 17.04 so I cannot test these myself. You guys could help:
At https://blogs.gnome.org/thaller/2016/08/26/mac-address-spoofing-in- networkmanager-1-4-0/ it mentions that: Update-2017-01-25: with 1.6 release and newer, the default value changed from “permanent” to “preserve” [commit],[bug]. The "preserve" default value means that NM will not attempt to change the MAC address upon activation. I just checked the source of "network-manager" on 17.04 (using LXD with 17.04 container) and it goes not have this update. Could you please check in NetworkManager to see what is the default value for “ethernet.cloned-mac-address” and “wifi.cloned-mac-address”, on a Ubuntu 17.04 installation? I think that "nmcli device show" might show it. If not, try somehow to figure out the default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1681513 Title: Ubuntu 17.04: New privacy feature in NetworkManager stops some USB WiFi adapters from working (mac address randomization) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1681513/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
