Hi All,

I was looking through the options regarding MAC Address randomization, and have 
a question about them. A member of my team wanted to know if it would be 
possible to do a sort of combo between the "stable" and the "random" options. 

As a refresher, here is my understanding of these two particular options:

1) The "stable" option - give one MAC address to My_Neat_Wifi_AP_Name (which 
would remain stable, but would be unique), and give another unique address to 
each other Wifi AP. The MAC address would remain stable for each of those AP's, 
but they would be unique between each other.

or

2) The "random" option - Give a random MAC address to My_Neat_Wifi_AP_Name and 
to every other Wifi AP (each connection would always use a random MAC address 
every time the system connected to an AP). 

What my coworker inquired about is a mix between 1 (stable for 
My_Neat_Wifi_AP_Name ) and 2 (random for every other AP).

I don't think this is currently possible (and may not be feasible / practical 
in the future), but I thought I would inquire about it just to be sure.

Thanks very much for all of your work.

Kind regards,

Jim

P.S.  Thanks for this well-written blog-post!
