   Not quite responsive:   
   1) I do not want to invent a MAC address, I want to tell it to use the   
   manufacturer's supposedly unique default address AFTER the   
   OS/driver/network-manager/whatever has already wiped it out during the   
   boot process. Your command example assumes that I know what it is.   
   2)As you can see in the subject line, I am running Fedora, not   
   rasp(b)ian. Even if Fedora's GUI does not work on the RP4, I would   
   rather run headless than have to learn Debian system management after a   
   decade of living in RedHat world.
