MAC address randomization Note that Ethernet connections can still be tracked via switch ports, and WiFi connections can be broadly localized by access point. Furthermore, MAC address spoofing and randomization depends on firmware support from the interface. Most modern network interface cards support the feature. There are three different aspects of MAC address randomization in NetworkManager, each with their own configuration flag: WiFi scanning [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes WiFi connections [connection] wifi.cloned-mac-address= Ethernet connections [connection] ethernet.
