Once and for all DISABLE MAC RANDOMIZATION? The idea that a wired NIC should have a randomized MAC... Has to be one of the !!!!... So how do you explicitly disable ALL MAC RANDOMIZATION on wired NICs?
I have spent over 2 hours trying 5 or 6 methods, include macchanger... NOTHING IS WORKING with Debian 12. Using NetworkManger but I realize the randomization maybe coming from systemd? Or somewhere else? Have clients that use PCLAAs and MAC auditing... so RANDOMIZED MACS IS A HORRIBLE IDEA!
How do I DISABLE this horrible feature!???

Hi @Schorschi can you just mention the methods you've tried so nobody repeats themselves?

Re: Once and for all DISABLE MAC RANDOMIZATION
Hello,
Please, use code tags to include commands and/or their logs in the body of a message.
Hope this helps.
You can search the system logs to find out which system service is currently updating the MAC address of your NIC by using the following command:
Code: Select all
su -l -c "journalctl -g mac\ "
Hope this helps.
