Bug Description
I am unable to spoof a mac address using either the command line, or editing a network connection with the gui. I have not tried using a program such as macchanger, but according to this post on the forums (http://
When I try to access my network (using wifi), it tries, but ultimately fails to connect. When I connect to different network without a spoofed mac address, it connects perfectly.
p.s. I have the same problem on my rooted android smartphone running 4.4 kitkat. It used to work fine on 4.2, but spoofing hasn't worked since I updated.
1 Ubuntu 14.04
2 network-manager version: 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7
3 Connect to the network with a spoofed mac address
4 Connection is rejected b/c of mac address filtering (computer reports mac as spoofed, router sees original address)
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
