Package: macchanger Version: 1.7.0-5.3 Severity: important Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
unfortunately setting ENABLE_INTERFACES in /etc/default/macchanger has
no effect, so even the MACs of my virtual interfaces had been set
randomly which made them stop working in turn.
Reading /etc/macchanger/ifupdown.sh I recognized that this variable is
ignored completely. I will attach a patch for
/etc/macchanger/ifupdown.sh checking if the devices occurs in
ENABLE_INTERFACES when it is set, however I need to use bash instead of
sh.
Furthermore, observing the log file (/var/log/macchanger) I noticed that
somebody tries to call the script with the option --all which is neither
supported by ifupdown.sh nor by macchanger itself.
Thank you!
Yours sincerely,
Maximilian Stein
