http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047857 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047857#c1 --- Comment #1 from Markus Greger <Markus.greger@gmx.net> --- Workaround: Manually setting MAC address outside of NetworkManager like the following command sequence (just replace $MacAddrAsInNetworkMgrConnection with wanted MAC) will enable NetworkManger to successfully connect using a connection with cloned mac address set to $MacAddrAsInNetworkMgrConnection. nmcli r wifi off; ifconfig wlan0 hw ether $MacAddrAsInNetworkMgrConnection; nmcli r wifi on It likely only works once, as NetworkManager past version 0.8.2 may reset it later as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770611#c4 states. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thus I tried different combinations, including old ones, as it did work in OpenSuse 13.x. Ideed it seems a wpa_supplicant problem, as it is working fine with a version copied over from OpenSuse 13.x. I'm now running NetworkManager from Tubleweed and wpa_supplicant from OpenSuse 13.x My reasoning for this choice were - changes in NetworkManager to improve mac address randomization which are only in 1.6 and newer https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770611#c4 - wpa_supplicant from Tumbleweed needing further changes - working wpa_supplicant from openSuse 13.x Thus it looks like as if some of the - may be already old - security fixes introduced a problem for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
