It seems it's impossible to initially connect from a #Chromecast device on #Android12 to a new #WiFi #WLAN using its REAL #MACaddress #EthernetAddress... 😠

The initial setup always seems to be with random MAC address (for privacy reasons)... Only once you successfully connected to the new WiFi at least once, you can modify the connection to use the device's "real" MAC address...

Seems to be a design limitation?!

For security reasons I have a separate IoT LAN, and per-MAC/device #WPA keys.
