Why does only one of my 5Bs boot with a different MAC address each time?

#1

See title. So very strange.

#2

On wifi or on 2.5G adapter?

Check option
ethernet.cloned-mac-address
On said adapter with
nmcli connection show “” | grep “ethernet.cloned-mac-address”

#3

2.5G adapter. This only happens to one of 5.

#4

And the output of nmcli?

#5

Sounds like it is generating a random address each boot.

Could it be related to this:

I did a install recently and i noticed this also. I was thinking maybe i am crazy and this is a feature instead of a bug. (Just gave it a static ipaddress instead.
