Description
based on the discussion here
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=133695.0
it seems like a freebsd issue where it wont read actual mac id of a RNDIS gadget over USB, it just keeps faking it with a randomly generated one and when u bridge this interface with LAN then on each boot it falls dead

- Status changed from New to Needs Patch
If it's a FreeBSD bug, which it appears to be, report it upstream to FreeBSD. Once they fix it, the change will trickle down naturally into our releases.

there is a way mentioned here https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=174464
no idea if this can be implemented in pfsense, if not ill file a bug request there

That would be the same as setting a MAC address to spoof on the interface configuration in the GUI. If that doesn't work, then it's probably something FreeBSD will have to fix in that driver.

well the mac spoofing works in gui but the base mac id keeps changing so pfsense doesnt query for the new mac id when pfsense or the rpi is rebooted
