Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have an application which access the "ether" value from "bond0" field as input parameters to generate a license (Note:- Without this license application cant be opened).
This ether value is found to be dynamic across WSL restarts.
So, on every WSL restart, I will have to generate another new license to continue using it.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want "ether" value under "bond0" to be static across across WSL sessions.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

Start by investigating how WSL creates the bond0 interface and assigns its ether value across WSL restarts. No source files or tests are identified in the issue. Done means the bond0 ether value remains stable across sessions without requiring a new application license.
