This often doesn't play nicely with port forwarding.
Sure, I wasn't claiming that using random addresses is the perfect
solution. But you could also set a fixed random address from user space
(hopefully that works with rtw88).
It's difficult to "prove" the RK3308 cpu serial numbers are unique,
but they should be and the few I've tested have been.
Please take into account that rtw88 driver can be used with all sort of
different CPUs, not just RK3308. This is why I pointed this out.
(please don't top post)
The script that replaces the driver's random MAC is in Armbian's User Space,
which is unique for each supported board. So, the CPU is known.
