Hi,
I've installed Debian 'Stretch' on my Acer Aspire 1690 laptop. For use
wireless, I had to add 'nonfree' in apt sources and install 'firmware-ipw2x00'.
Everything worked fine, but I discovered that on every boot or everytime WiFi
reconnect, MAC had changed.
In dmesg I find:
[ 16.812290] ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver,
1.2.2kmprq
[ 16.812294] ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
[ 16.812735] ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
[ 16.983621] ipw2200: 0000:06:03.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware
ipw2200-bss.fw
[ 17.122875] ipw2200: Detected geography ZZM (11 802.11bg channels, 0 802.11a
channels)
And, randomly, so many:
ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting.
...
I've update to Debian 'Buster', but 'MAC changes' continue.
Regards.
