How to update NetworkManager to use MAC anonymization

[E...@hotmail.de]

Hello,

I have a fresh Qubes 3.2 installation and want to use MAC anonymization via NetworkManager as described here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/anonymizing-your-mac-address/

To get the new version (1.4.2 or above) of NetworkManager therefore I followed the upgrade procedure for fedora-23 to fedora-25 (TemplateVM) as described here:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/template/fedora/upgrade-23-to-24/

Bur in my new fedora-25 TemplateVM (this I will later use as new NetVM) an old version of NetworkManager: 1.0.12-fc23

Maybe the documentations have to be corrected.

Could you please tell me, how I can install the newest NetworkManager as simple as possible?

Thank you.

Sounds like the upgrade was only partially successful.

Instead of trying to upgrade, download a fresh Fedora 25 template. It
should come with NetworkManager 1.4.6. In dom0:

sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-25

Thank you very much, it works.

Did not find the commands in the docs, but in the news section: https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2017/07/29/fedora-25-upgrade/
