Re: WiFi mac address changes every reboot

 

Can you check if the following file is still present on your Nexus 4?

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo ls -alh /persist/wifi/.macaddr
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13 Jan  3  1970 /persist/wifi/.macaddr

regards,
Simon

Hey,

As I see this is not the same bug. My WiFi mac address is the same on the About Page and with ifconfig command too. My problem is that my WiFi mac address changes with every reboot, so I need to readd my connection details every time and there will be a new connection with this name, just add a plus number to it, like:

RobinH
RobinH 1
RobinH 2
Robinh 3 ... etc.

I'm using a Nexus 4.

This sounds like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1399723 which was fixed some time ago.
What device are you on and where do you get the mac address? May warrant a new bug report.

Hi!

I'm using Ubuntu on my Nexus 4 and I've found an interesting bug. I need to connect to my WiFi network after every reboot, the reason is the mac address of WiFi changes every reboot. It works well with Android. Any idea how can I set it permanent? It's very fustrating...
