Hi, +1 that this change should be advertised more prominently at upgrade.
I restrict access to my home router by MAC address, but it took me a while to find out why it suddenly refused to give me an IP when I issued my usual ifup command. I personally prefer more fine-grained control over macchanger by calling it via pre-up in /etc/network/interfaces for only specific networks (not: network interfaces). So I decided to disable the new feature by setting ENABLE_ON_POST_DOWN=no in /etc/default/macchanger. I'm not sure whether that's the best method for configuring macchanger, though? Anyway, after I had done that, a sudo macchanger -p wlan0 # reset to original hardware MAC address sudo ifup wlan0=mynetwork got me back into business right away. best, Florian
