In my optionion this is not a medium bug, but a really serious one! I acknowledge there is a workaround, but that means one has to know there is actually a bug.
Most people will spend lots of time debugging their wifi client and ap because the error just states: 'wlan0: deauthenticating from 98:fc:11:f2:f7:43 by local choice (reason=3)' This error message is of a such generic type, I wonder why it doesn't just say: 'An error occurred'. If one looks up the error code, he/she is even distracted furthermore: reason 3 = 'Deauthenticated because sending STA is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS' Because all the symptons point to the direction of a generic error with the ap or wifi connection, I propose to change the importance to 'serious' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320752 Title: MAC Spoofing / Cloning for WiFi is broken in Trusty 14.04 / 14.10 and all others including Mint 17 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1320752/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
