Re: How do I get my Pi4 (Fedora) to use a real and stable MAC address?

The current fad is to use random MAC addresses. 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?

Well there are various places. RASPI-CONFIG can I think turn it off for ethernet.
Oh. its network manager that does it
If you have a GUI look under 'interface' and 'etherne't and select desired option from 'cloned MAC address'
If no GUI use nmcli
But I don't have the magic spell
