Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing WSL's current Ethernet initialization with Linux's ifconfig hw ether behavior and trace where the interface MAC is assigned during reboot. Define how a user-specified fixed MAC would be configured and persisted, then verify that the address remains unchanged after restart and supports the stated whitelist scenario.
