FAQ

  • Q:Hi! I just started installing the adapter on Raspbian buster.The adapter behaves very unstable, the MAC address changes every boot what makes DHCP server to assign different IP every time. I believe that this module is faulty and I ask for replacement.
 A:That's an issue of Raspbian OS, not the hardware module.
 Because the NIC device does not have a MAC address, the MAC address is generated on the system.
If you want to fix the MAC address, you can put the following commands into the system startup file.
If the driver supports the standard ifconfig command to change MAC address, perhaps putting it in a startup script would do the trick.
Try this command: ifconfig eth0 hw ether MAC-ADDRESS
MAC-ADDRESSshould be replaced by yourself.
