You forget on most important data. Which kernel do you use? 

armbianmonitor -u

And remember that this image is not declared stable yet since (such) minor issues weren't fully resolved yet.

if you didnt use the Network-Manager for configuring your eth0, but the /etc/network/interfaces 

the you could use the following idea to set a MAC-Address:
http://www.youritronics.com/how-to-set-the-mac-address-from-etcnetworkinterfaces-in-debian/

 

look for the line
hwaddress ether 00:01:04:1b:2C:1F

#This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 1.1.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 1.1.1.255
broadcast 1.1.1.255
gateway 1.1.1.1

Thank you.It's useful,

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet dhcp

hwaddress ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

For Network manager way, check this:

I meet the same problem,but your link is only the code in github. Can you tell me how to enable it to keep my mac addr and use network manager.Because I use ipv6.

And I set /etc/network/interface,but ipv6 didn't work,I don't know why

This way it is possible to set MAC address with NetworkManager and that's all I know/can help about this. You can also use nmtui-edit and set MAC spoofing via "GUI" tools. Read NetworkManager manuals if you run into troubles. This has nothing to do with Armbian.

This way you override NM settings. Again, check generic Debian/Ubuntu manual for setting this up. And I am not sure if its always possible to set MAC this way.
