This causes difficulties when managing network adapters as there is not a clean way to identify them. A result of this is that network adapters have to be removed and re-added every time any of them changes, refreshing the MAC address with it. One possible workaround would be to have the user to specify an ID per each adapter but we prefer to wait a bit more as the current implementation is good enough to begin with.
