Please don't. Large multi-AP wifi networks, such at large businesses and universities, use the MAC address as a machine identifier. Thus the machine can be tracked across access points. Although that tracking does sound nefarious, it's also what maintains your connections as you leave the coverage of one access point for another. If you present a differing MAC address to each AP then we can't maintain your connectivity. -glen -- Glen Turner <http://www.gdt.id.au/~gdt/> _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
