Does Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 support MAC randomization

[OSch1784]

I activated MAC randomization on my WIFI-Adapter with:

set randomization enabled=yes interface=”Wi-Fi”

It is activated as show randomization replies:

Address randomization has been enabled on interface “Wi-Fi”.

But if i disconnect and reconnect using this interface adapter or even deactivationg Wi-Fi and reconnect afterwards i still have the same (default) MAC-adress.

Is 8260 not supporting MAC randomization?

(Tried to google it, but seems that i am the first one with that question)

Just discovered that:

show wirelesscapabilities

tells me that MAC-Randomization is supported.

So i am more curios why i could not alter my WLAN-MAC Address.

Did you reboot after making this parameter change? If not, try doing so...

Regarding Microsoft documentation it should be satisfying to reconnect to network. But yes I restartet both. WIFI Adapter as well as the complete system. Has no effect. Still the same MAC.
