I think this could be related to the fact that the network card does not
work after reboot, so it seems best to reassign this report to the
pcmciautils package as I suspect the problem is either there or in the
kernel.
Note for pcmciautils maintainer: more details in BR history!

As far as I can tell neither 'ifconfig' nor 'ip' in busybox support
changing the MAC address. Note that it very rare that this is needed and
I'm not sure that we should add support for this for these rare cases.

The question is still there, but the system will in most cases not ask it,
but determine a default value based on what other operating systems are
detected.

Known issue. Not sure if we will ever support this.
