Re: F40 Change Proposal: Wifi MAC Randomization (System Wide)

I would like to avoid duplicates and unnecessary redundancy, but especially for the issue discussed below it might be worth to also review the discussion on discussion.fp.org -> I am not convinced if it is that easy for all users when it comes to existing network configurations / setups, especially for users without sophisticated knowledge of the technical background -> https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f40-change-proposal-wifi-mac-randomization-system-wide/99856

Btw, does anyone know if this (in the practically-same manner) is really already introduced in Windows, Mac, Android by default? Globally? This question indirectly came up in the discussion.fp.org topic and might impact how far vendors of routers and comparable devices/systems/software already consider MAC randomization (in existing networks / network configurations and such) to avoid issues for average users.

Best,
Chris

I'm -1 for this change, it shouldn't be enabled by default as it will cause issues for users using router mac filtering.
What this seems to state is that the MAC address would be unique for
each SSID, but once it's picked, it would be locked in. That should
still make router-level MAC filtering possible, since the MAC address
would be stable for that network.
