Hi all,
I've a strange problem with wifi (since this morning?):
Whenever the connection gets re-established the interface wlan0 has a
new MAC addr. This disturbs my dhcp address assignment which is a
MAC/IP pair. Therefor the assigned IP is also a new one.
Editing the connection in NM and setting "Device: wlan0 (3C:A9:F4:82:BF:FC)"
was the solution.
This is all part of the MAC privacy work done in IEEE 802. MAC
randomization is now the rule for all interfaces which gives DHCP and
other technologies challenges. In this case, IEEE 802.11 was actively
involved in this privacy enhancement.
As with any such advancement, it has its pros and cons.
