WiFi MAC Address for Router MAC Whitelist

I am new to Garuda Linux...I ran the command "inxi -Faz" but it populated so much information. For fear of being ignored, which is STUPID, because I am not only a newb here, I have developed a real liking for Garuda and therefore have taken on a LOT to learn but again, VERY newb...I can navigate Ubuntu with ease but it's completely different with this OS. I'm going to paste the output that is requested, and I want to apologize, in advance, if I was only supposed to provide a certain section as this is long! (Please see below for that info)

I just need to find my WiFi MAC (and ensure it isn't random for my home WiFi) because I use a Whitelist MAC within my router instead of just letting anyone connect...I was hoping to find this section easily on Garuda but cannot. I would appreciate the help but if I'm too "newb" or didn't follow your rules correctly, I apologize-I'll go back to other Linux distros and discontinue my monthly donation.
Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

Clinton

It is super simple to disable Network Manager's MAC address randomization feature in Garuda. Simply use Garuda's Network Assistant to easily disable MAC address randomization.

Right click on your network connection's icon in the system tray. Select configure network connections. You can set/change your MAC address through your connection's settings in the Network Manager app.

Hi there @clintonsonn, and a Merry Christmas to you.

I just thought I'd add another reply here as you have yet to respond in almost a week. You have opened several help requests on the forum and in both cases you have not seen fit to respond to forum assistants on your own help request threads you've opened.

The forum is a two way street and nothing is accomplished here without feedback from the users that open help requests on our forum. Please do not leave threads dangling after opening a help request.

I attempt to keep the networking sub-forum neat and orderly by trying my best to ensure networking threads are closed out properly with a positive resolution. Most networking help requests usually have a positive outcome on our forum as long as the OP is proactive with providing feedback.

Forum threads are automatically locked after two weeks dormant to prevent necrobumping. So please respond to help requests you've opened in a timely manner to prevent auto-locking of your help requests.

If your issue has been resolved, please ensure you return to your thread and post the solution and mark your thread solved. This not only helps keep the forum organized with regards to solved/unsolved threads, it also helps other users with the same problem to find a solution to similar issues.

Please ensure you give proper feedback on all help requests you open, and also please mark your thread solved if your issue has been resolved.

Your cooperation with regards to help requests you open would be greatly appreciated. All the best of the season to you.

You are in the habit of opening help requests and then going silent and never responding. I consider this the same as calling 911 then disappearing after the response team has been dispatched.

As you like to give forum helpers the silent treatment, I will respond in kind. Your posting privilliges have been revoked for a good long while.
