It seems that network is managed by systemd-networkd. So, I guess in the meantime, you could change networkd configurations to assign a different MAC address. From [1], the configuration should be in /data/network/. You could modify the file handling that network interface (i.e. if the interface is eth0, then the file should have 'Name=eth0'), by adding: [Link] MACAddress=<uniqueMACAddress> I guess that if the file does not exist, copy pasting the one from [1] should be fine (?) Or you could add/modify a <name>.link with a correct [Match] and a [Link] MACAddressPolicy=<persistent|random> and let systemd-networkd generate a MAC address.
