Intel S2600WF (Wolf Pass) BMC MAC addresses issue.

[Johnathan Mantey]

This is expected behavior.
I believe the MAC address is generated randomly the first time.
I'm not certain if this will remain the status quo.
The MAC addresses are pulled from the
/etc/systemd/network/00-bmc-ethx.network files.
It is necessary to write the information, and then reboot the BMC for
the value to take effect.
