Omega2 firmware V0.3.2 is changing MAC address of wlan0
-
Hello @administrators ,
Will you please let me know that why new firmware V0.3.2 is changing wlan0 MAC address, is this a bug OR onion is doing it legally..?
We are organisation and have lots of omega2, for which generated the serial number of devices on the basis of their mac address, now if I try to apply newer firmware it is changing my omega2's MAC address. i have purchased those omega2 approx 1 year ago.. and currently using version firmware v0.2.2 b200.
Suggest me, Please...

I'm sorry you invested in so many omegas. The only thing I was able to do in the last couple of years with my omega was swearing my way to hell. Every time I boot it a new bug comes up.

@an-arshadali the MAC address is not changing, there's just different MAC addresses for the 3 different network interfaces (WiFi AP, WiFi client, and ethernet). So each Omega2 device is allocated 3 sequential MAC addresses at manufacturing.
See more details in the blog post on this topic and in the App Note on MAC Addresses & Unique IDs.
