Answering to myself: Seems like the aic8800 driver is looking for the mac address in the eFuses and at least on my device is failing to do so, failing back to randomizing the last 2 bytes of the address. I’ll see if I can patch the driver to use a MAC address from the cmd line or use the .ini file (since that function of the driver was left out). And for the no WiFi after reboot error, seems like the driver is failing to restart the WiFi module.

Hi all! I've been testing the latest build from @Nick A with my X98h box it seems to be working fine except for a couple of things, I hope someone can help me The Wi-Fi mac address changes in every boot, is there a way to force it to have only 1 mac-addr? Wi-Fi does not work after a reboot, no errors, nothing. Checking the kernel logs with "dmesg | grep aic" yields no result. If I make a coldboot, the WiFi works as normal (except for the "error" mentioned above) Is there a way to make the VFD work? I tried building the kernel module mentioned in other posts but for whatever reason "modprobe openvfd" fails with the error: "module openvfd: .gnu.linkonce.this_module section size must match the kernel's built struct module size at run time", I've tried to build my own image and use the resulted kernel headers in case that the headers included in the release were wrong but no luck there.
