So how do I manually configure the ethernet port to use the hardware MAC
address?
Every NIC has a built-in address, which it should default to.
Or, a quick look at the docs
<https://manpages.debian.org/8/ip-link.8.en.html> gives
ip link set «device» address «addr»
Not quite responsive:
1) I do not want to invent a MAC address, I want to tell it to use the manufacturer's supposedly unique default address AFTER the OS/driver/network-manager/whatever has already wiped it out during the boot process. Your command example assumes that I know what it is.
2)As you can see in the subject line, I am running Fedora, not rasp(b)ian. Even if Fedora's GUI does not work on the RP4, I would rather run headless than have to learn Debian system management after a decade of living in RedHat world.
