FP6 has no mac randomization / privacy wifi option
- /e/OS version: e/OS 3.0.4
- Device model(s): FP6
- Impacted Application: /e/OS Settings
The problem
quoting from https://community.e.foundation/t/mac-address-randomization-fails/72327
wireless MAC addresses are not randomized by default: I confirmed that two unrelated access points show the phone’s “Device Wi-Fi MAC Address” in their connection logs. (Note that even under persistent randomization, the two APs should see different client MACs, and neither should see the device MAC.)
[..]
there should be a “Privacy” tab in the detailed view of a WiFi connection that offers related options
Repro
- goto Settings -> "Network & Internet"
- choose Wifi internet detail settings (gear icon)
- no "Privacy" option
Expectation:
- "Privacy" option offering "Use randomized MAC" or "Use device MAC"
Technical details
atm the FP6 device tree isn't public, with the option missing I'd think to not find the
config_wifi_connected_mac_randomization_supported
option in both config.xml files.
Compare to the FP5 overlay config.xml.
