Description

We received a report from a user (Bug report: d64cf80693edbd475188d20d8f657c80) saying that with Tails 4.2 they need to disable MAC spoofing in order to get the network to work. It looks a lot like Bug #17388 and Bug #17418 even if it seems to affect an intel chipset in this case…

Could I please get the output of /sbin/lsmod run from a version of Tails that hadn’t this problem (4.1 or earlier)?
