Fixate wifi mac address in Sailfish?

On my Gemini PDA something odd happens since i reflashed the multi-boot together with the new Android 8.1 version. At every reboot i now get a different wifi mac address. This is a bit of a problem since some servers i connect to rely on my mac wifi address. I tested rebooting into Sailfish and Android, and every time the wifi mac address changes. Therefore i think the problem is in the Gemini firmware.

But because i do not know a solution in the Gemini firmware, i thought that maybe there is a solution in fixating the wifi mac address in Sailfish, so that at least when rebooting into Sailfish i always get the same address.

Is fixating the wifi mac address within Sailfish possible? I looked up the usual Linux locations for network settings, but there were no files. (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and /etc/NetworkManager). Does Sailfish have the network config files somewhere else?
