[Odroid C2 7.90.008] MAC address changes randomly after reboot

I've been using LE 7.90.008 Alpha on my Odroid C2 for a few days and I'm pretty pleased by the overall performance, but I've noticed that the MAC address seems to change to a different (random?) value after every reboot, which is both strange and inconvenient (I have to use a static IP to make things straight on my network as my router/DHCP can no longer recognize the C2 on boot)... That didn't happen on LE 7.1.0 (I used wrxtasy's build).

I've seen some other reports of that behaviour in the comments on the front page, so it seems I'm not the only one.

Have you made a clean install or upgraded? Your boot.ini might miss an important kernel parameter

I have upgraded from wrxtasy's latest 7.1.0 build. How do I check my boot.ini?

Then I suspect that mac=${ethaddr} and possibly other parameters is missing in your boot.ini-file

Suggest you replace boot.ini on your SD/eMMC-card with the one from boot.ini, should fix your MAC address issue

That did the trick. Thanks Kwiboo
