Bug Description
Lots of users needs to change hw MAC address on network devices these days, because some internet providers "locks" internet access to specific hw MAC address.
Currently NetworkManager doesn't have an ability to change hw MAC address of network device :(
So, please add an ability to change hw MAC address of network device in nm-connection-
This is already requested at http://
There is also info how to change mac in terminal:
ip link set eth0 address <mac>
another way is to user macchanger or macchanger-gtk tool.

it annoyed me to find out the whole reason my wifi card wasn't working was that networkmanager breaks when u enter a mac address in the field. doesn't care if i change it in hal preferences, too.
