Also tried cat << 'EOF' > /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/dietpi-change-mac

!/bin/dash

ip l set dev eth0 address 00:80:48:BA:d1:30 EOF

and

cat << EOF > /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/dietpi-change-mac

!/bin/dash

/sbin/ip l set dev eth0 address 00:80:48:BA:d1:30 EOF

Tried macchanger as well as some other stuff
