I have just updated my previously working RI 3 to the latest kernel

It seems that the device now generates a unique MAC address on the
wired Ethernet connection each time it is powered on. Could this
happen? If so, how can I change it back to use a fixed MAC address?
I seem to remember someone complaining about problem like this once.
IIRC the result of the discussion was it was a cool (well, authors
thought so) feature of some userspace tool (NetworkManager?).
I am not using NetworkManager. The Ethernet comes up on boot.
Cool feature? Hmmm. Not sure how one can use dhcp to assign addresses
to specific devices with that. As an optional flag, maybe.
My solution right now is to use a fixed address. At least I can access
the device. I will next try a script suggested in another response.
After I figure out what it is doing...
Most modern routers allow you to assign a fixed address to a mac address.
