You might try a Systemd link file (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/sy ... .link.html) to specify a MAC address that you want (and won't change.) I user that to allow each SD/SSD install to have it's own IP address assigned by my DHCP server, regardless of which Pi I run the install on. For example:
This also works for Ethernet MACs. You will want to make sure you identify the driver which can be done using ethtool
