Description Thiago Macieira 2020-07-06 17:01:35 UTC

SUMMARY
When one of the lower connections of a bond is WiFi, you have to set the bond's MAC address to match the WiFi's, otherwise your AP will generally not accept your wireless frames. This should be possible with Plasma-NM.

Note that nmcli edit does not offer to set "ethernet.cloned-mac-address" either, but you can set it and it works.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the connection editor
2. Add a new Bond-type connection (or edit the one you have)

OBSERVED RESULT
No way to set or change the MAC address of the bond.

EXPECTED RESULT
Like for Wired or Wireless connections, there should be a way to specify the cloned MAC address.
