sorry, misread the ticket description. could you please elaborate why you want to use the mac address here and if there are any error messages when bringing up wifi?

I need to identify the wifi with "option macaddr" (using mac) because sometimes the dongle reset or have an error and the router asign to it another phy or another path (option path), then it doesn't get recognized.
When using "option macaddr" the dongle is recognized, can scan, but it doesn't connect as client to another router.

config error, option macaddr for changing the mac address needs to go into the wifi-iface section.
