As Adrian already explained, changing MAC of WiFi is incorrect in general, changing MAC of Ethernet is correct way. This was true before the change as well. It accidentially did work before for some devices. I have added entry to updating. The ifconfig_iwn0="" lines in rc.conf are now just a harmless junk. I don't think that we need to request users to clean it up. -- Totus tuus, Glebius.Received on Mon Sep 07 2015 - 08:52:34 UTC
