[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#665439: network-manager: Network manager fail to connect network when cloned-mac-address is set

[Rémi Vanicat]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.2.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: lfs

When the "cloned-mac-address" is set, my computer cannot connect to
the network anymore. Here is an example on a configuration that fail:


[802-3-ethernet]
duplex=full
cloned-mac-address=0:90:f5:c1:c6:22

[connection]
id=Connexion filaire auto
uuid=9ec48ffe-38ac-410e-b267-9130d801720f
type=802-3-ethernet
timestamp=1332576355

[ipv6]
method=ignore

[ipv4]
method=auto


Removing the "cloned-mac-address=0:90:f5:c1:c6:22" enable the
connection again. The connection will succeed if the
cloned-mac-address is set to the card own mac address.
