Here MAC Address is changing. Below is scenario:
1. Ethernet is up with some MAC Address and connman creates ipdevice with that
address
2. After some time if MAC Address is changed then MAC Address is not updated
in connman
3. When "Ethernet" property of service is obtained then it returns initial MAC
address,
not the updated one.
I'm not sure if it is a valid case where device's MAC Address is changed but
in Ubuntu
you can cross check by updating MAC address for ethernet using "ifconfig" and
then
getting service property using connmanctl.
In my case there is a device where MAC Address is set by some other process
which sometimes
starts after connman is started. Initially MAC Address for ethernet is set as
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF by kernel. But after MAC Address is updated by other process
it is not
reflected in connman's service.

Here MAC Address of device is getting changed. I didn't observed any issue
with DHCP or
manual configuration.
