Version: svn revision 1013816 (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Forwarded from https://launchpad.net/bugs/419933 Original report: "I set up a wired connection in KDE's network manager using plasma-widget-networkmanagement. [Our package containing KNetworkManager] There is the option to set a custom MAC address for the device, which I need to get identified correctly in our network. However, the MAC address is not set when the connection is established, which causes DHCP to get no configuration. This behaviour can be verified by syslog and ifconfig respectively. Manual configuration using ifconfig works. Attached is the corresponding syslog, the hw address is 00:21:70:11:22:33, expected is 00:21:70:55:66:77. Using plasma-widget-networkmanagement 0.1~svn1013816-0ubuntu1."

That setting actually restricts which device the connection can be used on (by mac address) so the UI should actually be labelled 'Device:' and have values 'Any device',<list of network devices of that type from Solid> and allow a user-entered mac address..
Thank you for this clarification, so I really misunderstood this feature. 8-)
