Bug#1069082: Confirm bug



I can confirm that I have experienced this on a Debian Bookworm install but am unable to duplicate it at the moment. The kernel installed is

```text
hbarta@sutyzam:~$ uname -a
Linux sutyzam 6.1.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.76-1 (2024-02-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux
hbarta@sutyzam:~$
```

In addition to the changing MAC, I recall that the device name (presently `enx0050b6239f84`) was also changing. That seems to make sense as the device name was derived from the MAC address `00:50:b6:23:9f:84`.

I was able to work around this using a .link file in `/etc/systemd/network` and matching on the driver, reported by `ethtool` as:

```text
root@sutyzam:~# ethtool -i enx0050b6239f84
driver: ax88179_178a
version: 6.1.0-18-amd64
firmware-version:  
expansion-rom-version:  
bus-info: 2-1.3:1.0
supports-statistics: no
supports-test: no
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: no
supports-priv-flags: no
root@sutyzam:~#
```

`lsusb` reports it as

```text
root@sutyzam:~# ethtool -i enx0050b6239f84
driver: ax88179_178a
version: 6.1.0-18-amd64
firmware-version:  
expansion-rom-version:  
bus-info: 2-1.3:1.0
supports-statistics: no
supports-test: no
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: no
supports-priv-flags: no
root@sutyzam:~#
```

And this is the "Amazon Basics" USB3/1Gb adapter.

best,
