# This sets defaults for Wi-Fi profiles to set a generated, stable MAC address. # # Do not modify this file. You can hide/overwrite this file by placing a file # to "/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/22-wifi-mac-addr.conf". You can also add # configuration snippets with higher priority that override this setting (see # `man 5 NetworkManager.conf`). Most importantly, this snippet only sets # default values for the profile. You can explicitly set the value for each # profile, so that this default value is not used. # # For example, on a particular profile/network set # # $ nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" wifi.cloned-mac-address permanent # # to use the hardware MAC address. This prevents the default from this file # to take effect. # # Or # # $ nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" wifi.cloned-mac-address stable connection.stable-id '${NETWORK_SSID}/${BOOT}' # # to get a generated MAC address that changes on each boot. Note how setting # "connection.stable-id" also affects other aspects of the profile. # # See `man 5 nm-settings` for "wifi.cloned-mac-address" and "connection.stable-id".
