I want anything that is "infrastructure" to have unique and stable MAC addresses, so that DHCP can give them stable IP addresses. My Pi4 runs Fedora (which is very stable on it except for the GUI), but it seems to always come up with randomized MAC addresses. Does it not HAVE a hardware MAC address? And if it has one, where do I tell Fedora to use it?
