Rintel: NetworkManager 1.4: with better privacy and easier to use Lubomir Rintel
takes
a look at new features in NetworkManager 1.4. "
It is now possible to randomize the MAC address of Ethernet devices to mitigate possibility of tracking. The users can choose between different policies; use a completely random address, or just use different addresses in different networks. For Wi-Fi devices, the same randomization modes are now supported and does no longer require support from wpa-supplicant."
Also a newly added API for using configuration snapshots that automatically
roll back after a timeout, IPv6 tokenized interface identifiers can be
configured, new features in
nmcli, and more are covered. (Thanks
