  While configuring a system based on ubuntu 22.04 version , we found
  that a system-d udev rules assign a random mac address to one of the
  network interfaces .

  Not able to understand  why this systemd rule is triggering and
  assigning MAC address randomly while we have a permanent Mac
  configured for that network interface .

  We found this reported issue in systemd .

  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/21185 
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/6d36464065601f79a352367cf099be8907d8f9aa

   are they reason we are also running into the issue and if so, how do
  we get away from this Other than setting MACAddressPolicy=none ?
