Many, many thanks, Jesse, for the fix! I have been using an ASUS N-13 adaptor, and up to Ubuntu 17.04 had no trouble. At first I suspected the adaptor and bought another one - quite unnecessarily as it turns out. Fortunately I had my little old friend, an ASUS Eee (also running Ubuntu 17.04), to help me, and so I was able to use it to ferret about, finally ending up at your posting. It worked! Evidently - and fortunately for me - the "improvement" to the network manager doesn't affect the Eee wifi card.
Couldn't agree more with the above comments about the irresponsibility of the development team in fielding such a vital piece of software without very careful and extensive testing. Shame on you lot! There are probably a lot of ordinary users like me out there who just don't have a clue what is happening now their network connection isn't working. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1681513 Title: Ubuntu 17.04/17.10: New feature in NetworkManager stops several WiFi adapters from working (MAC Address Randomization issue) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1681513/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
