Hi, 

is there any solution to the random wlan0 mac address of rb5?

this problem does not allow us to set a static IP on the router for qr5.

I tried the  `voxl-static-ip` but it does not work.
```
rb5:/etc/systemd/system$ voxl-static-ip 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.2
wlan0: Unknown host

```

Also, the @RichieRich's solution here 
https://forum.modalai.com/topic/682/how-to-stop-wlan0-mac-address-randomization/5
did not work as we do not have eth0 interface.

thanks.

@mbahrami You can try that same solution, just substitute "wlan0" instead of "eth0"
