** Description changed: **SHORT OVERVIEW** "Cloned MAC Address" feature doesn't work with any USB WiFi adapters in 14.04, 14.10, Mint 17 and likely all others based on Ubuntu. This is not an upgrade issue, i did a clean install to test. + Atheros, Realtek, Ralink adapters tested, this has nothing to do with the driver type. The only symptoms are WiFi not connecting and the following dmesg output: [ 214.296350] wlan0: authenticate with 98:fc:11:f2:f7:43 [ 214.305098] wlan0: send auth to 98:fc:11:f2:f7:43 (try 1/3) [ 214.307421] wlan0: authenticated [ 219.367559] wlan0: deauthenticating from 98:fc:11:f2:f7:43 by local choice (reason=3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original bug report info: after setting the mac to change in networkmanager i try to connect yet it never will, when looking at the logs it says it got disconnected by local choice (reason 3), it appeared it was because the mac wasnt effectively changed but then again i tried to do so disabling network-manager -> macchanger -m -> enabling network-manager, i checked with ifconfig if the mac has changed and it did however the result was the same maybe its because of this http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2013/CVE-2013-4579.html? **UPDATE** now works doing the macchanger procedure, directly from network-manager it doesnt ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:0.220.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.47-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.1 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Mon May 19 02:00:41 2014 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-05-06 (12 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader Symptom: release-upgrade UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-05-06 (13 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.1) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 VESA VGA ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=b249fe00-d117-42dc-a2a4-e2b8763b5b7c ro rootflags=subvol=@ quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.47-generic 3.13.9 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127.2 RfKill: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no Tags: trusty Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 10/24/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde dmi.bios.version: F.53 dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 3568 dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.board.version: 21.3A dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrF.53:bd10/24/2012:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPPaviliong7NotebookPC:pvr0690130000204610000620100:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn3568:rvr21.3A:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC dmi.product.version: 0690130000204610000620100 dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard
