Title:
unable to clone mac address
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
New
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://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2221802) that doesn't work
either.
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)
