FWIW if it were listed in /e/n/i, then nm would not manage it, would it.

I expect you've got the interface name stored in nm's connection
profile instead.

BTW in a network set up like my own, the place where the MAC would be
relevant is in the DHCP server (here, the router) because that is how
the IP number is assigned. An unassigned MAC will get given an IP
address 192.168.1.200+, and it will conect to the Internet, but other
machines on the LAN would not recognise it. (Although the router can
hand out IP numbers, it doesn't run a nameserver.)

Cheers,
David.
