[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#833507: wpasupplicant: workaround wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

[Noël Köthe]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2:2.6-11
Followup-For: Bug #833507

Dear Maintainer,

with one of the sid updates last week my wireless stop
working again with the
wpa_supplicant[737]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SUBNET-STATUS-UPDATE status=0

I remember a workaround for this problem from the past to add 
into /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf the following:

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

which fixed it again for me.

...
network-manager (1.4.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium
...
  * Fix MAC address randomization.
    Cherry-pick a couple of upstream commits which work around driver bugs
    when MAC address randomization is used. (Closes: #835822, #835553)
...

Because the last network-manager was from 2017-11-10 and my wlan problem
started last week I'm a bit unsure where the root cause is.

Maybe the workaround helps someone.

Regards

	Noël
