Hello guys! Since we have a new bes2600 driver and also new kernel 6.6.13 and 6.8.0 (danctnix-testing) i aske me, what need to be done to get a stable, permanent MAC Address?

I have a whitelist in my router, and i want to have only 1 MAC address for my PineTab2.

it would be very helpful for the community.

On the licensing topic, this needs to discuss with BES management team.

Any progress on this?

In addition to the license situation wrt the driver, it's also unclear if or under what conditions the firmware can be distributed.

https://gitlab.com/pine64-org/bes2600-firmware does contain the firmware files, but no license/redistribution statement.
Ideally the firmware would be submitted to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ker...rmware.git (f.e. via a MR on https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/linux-firmware/), but that should also contain a license/redistribution statement (added to WHENCE).

Otherwise it can't be distributed at least with Debian.
