Dear GLLUGers, My thanks to those of you who have made suggestions about my changing MAC address with each new boot. Delving further, I've discovered that I have a number of wired connections as illustrated below.

The other three appear to be local values judging my their MAC addresses. Could this proliferation be the problem I'm seeing, as outlined at the beginning of this message? What should I do to solve the problem? Create an eth0 connection? Thank you once again for any help you can offer.
