   Well there are various places. RASPI-CONFIG can I think turn it off for   
   ethernet.   
      
   Oh. its network manager that does it   
      
   If you have a GUI look under 'interface' and 'etherne't and select   
   desired option from 'cloned MAC address'   
      
   If no GUI use nmcli   
   But I don't have the magic spell
