This option was added to ''AddressRandomization'' but truthfully this is not random. The MAC address is generated using a SHA256 digest from the permanent adapters address and the SSID being connected to. This is a deterministic operation which will allow the same MAC to be used on every connection to a given SSID. Generally this is the behavior the average user wants.
