If MAC spoofing is enabled (which is the default) then all network devices that fails to be spoofed will be temporarily disabled until next reboot, and a notification will be shown for each. They are disabled like this so they won't leak the real MAC address, as a fail-safe. If MAC spoofing is disabled there should be no differences compared to previous Tails releases. Earlier in this thread there seemed to be some confusion about the meaning of "network devices" in this context. To clarify, it only refers to devices that enables networking on the computer running Tails, e.g. wired network cards, Wi-Fi/wireless network card, 3G/HSDPA modules and similar.
