            and a locally-administered, unicast MAC address is created. This property allows to specify that certain bits
            are fixed.
          - Note that the least significant bit of the first MAC address is always unset to create a unicast MAC address.
          - If the property is V(null), it is eligible to be overwritten by a default connection setting.
          - If the value is still V(null) or an empty string, the default is to create a locally-administered, unicast MAC
            address.
          - If the value contains one MAC address, this address is used as mask. The set bits of the mask are to be filled
            with the current MAC address of the device, while the unset bits are subject to randomization.
          - Setting V(FE:FF:FF:00:00:00) means to preserve the OUI of the current MAC address and only randomize the lower
            3 bytes using the V(random) or V(stable) algorithm.
          - If the value contains one additional MAC address after the mask, this address is used instead of the current MAC
            address to fill the bits that shall not be randomized.
          - For example, a value of V(FE:FF:FF:00:00:00 68:F7:28:00:00:00) sets the OUI of the MAC address to 68:F7:28, while
            the lower bits are randomized.
          - A value of V(02:00:00:00:00:00 00:00:00:00:00:00) creates a fully scrambled globally-administered, burned-in MAC
            address.
          - If the value contains more than one additional MAC addresses, one of them is chosen randomly. For example, V(02:00:00:00:00:00
            00:00:00:00:00:00 02:00:00:00:00:00) creates a fully scrambled MAC address, randomly locally or globally administered.

            probe-scanning the SSID. However, these workarounds expose inherent insecurities with hidden SSID networks, and
            thus hidden SSID networks should be used with caution.
          - In AP mode, the created network does not broadcast its SSID.
          - Note that marking the network as hidden may be a privacy issue for you (in infrastructure mode) or client stations
            (in AP mode), as the explicit probe-scans are distinctly recognizable on the air.
