Write the settings to a new file in the `/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/` directory, such as `mac.conf`. The following example enables Wifi MAC address randomization while scanning (not connected), and uses a randomly generated but persistent MAC address for each individual Wifi and Ethernet connection profile.

To see the available configuration options, refer to the man page: `man nm-settings` `stable` generates a random address that persists for each boot session.
`random` generates a random address each time a link goes up.
