Bug Description
Hello,
On Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.1, when creating a new wifi connection from the Gnome NetworkManager GUI, it seems impossible to have it created with 802-11-
I have tried the following:
cat /etc/NetworkMan
[device]
wifi.scan-
[connection]
wifi.cloned-
ethernet.
Restarted, and then created a new wifi connection. Expected to find the "802-11-
802-11-
So if I have to first connect to the wifi network with my original MAC address and expose it publicly before I can set this option, it defeats the purpose of the option.
Thanks!
Actually now I notice that the mac address is indeed randomized, just nmcli and the GUI doesn't report the correct status of the setting.
Thanks!
