I get a random MAC address on every boot. This will cause my router to assign a new IP address. Not good. The symptoms were reported before in issue #158, fixed and closed.
This issue occured on a fresh install. I installed the latest image from here v1.6.6. The wifi was set up by adding ssid and passwd to openhabian.conf. I never connected ethernet or used the hotspot. I do not recall adding anything else to the system. This started occurring right from the start with MAC address changing every time the RPi reboots during initial setup.
Debug information:
After some digging I was able to fix this on my system. It appears the culprit is NetworkManager. NetworkManager is not installed with the standard Raspberry Pi OS.
The fix that worked for me is described here Re: Raspberry pi 3 Model B WiFi MAC address keeps changing
It involves adding a config file /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/100-disable-wifi-mac-randomization.conf that disables randomized MAC addresses.
