All working again thank you very much for your support

np, sorry for the inconvenience. I try to test everything here prior to making it public, but obviously can't test every permutation, and the lack of MAC address isn't one that I normally bother with unless I change something related to it

out of curiosity, is the ability to patch the mac address back in missing from the OE version of the script because it's not possible on OE or just for lack of demand (for lack of a better word)? i'd have patched my mac address back in long ago if it had been available without needing to create and boot a live stick. not that it matters much for me now
