Unable so set MAC Address

[sahlex]

Hello.

I'm using a Wemos D1 (ESP8266) with a W5100 Ethernet shield. It works generally but I'm not able to set a MAC address. It always uses the generic MAC FE-AB-CD-EF-ED-BA which is hardcoded in Ethernet_ESP8266_Manager.h.

Using the example Program in Ethernet_Generic, I was able to connect the shield but wherever I call setMacAddress it has no effect.

Is there any way to set the MAC address?

Hardware used:

• Arduino IDE version is 1.8.19
• Hardware is Wemos D1 R1 (ESP8266) with Wiznet shield W5100

Best regards,
Alexander

Hi @sahlex

Thanks for your usage of the library and report of the bug.
Sorry for the very late response. You know it's difficult to find time to work in the summer ;-}}

It always uses the generic MAC FE-AB-CD-EF-ED-BA which is hardcoded in Ethernet_ESP8266_Manager.h

I'll fix the issue to make the MAC to be assigned randomly in next release soon.

This way is better than you have to set it manually, for every board by modifying the code for each board..
