Comment 0 for bug 1718607

when using ifupdown it is possible to spof your mac address via /etc/network/interfaces with something like:

hwaddress ether <mac>

netplan currently has no option like this s one has to run a script or some such on boot to run something like

ip link set <device> address <addr>

since Ubuntu Core exclusively uses netplan for the network configuration and some users want too be able to modify the MACs on their IoT devices the missing feature is a problem.
