Hello,
I'm new in using a wifi module, and I'm using the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 to learn more about IoT. Based on the subject above, I have done some research and found that there are libraries of EspressIF that can be used to modify ESP32 modules, specifically esp_wifi.h where you can change the MAC address.
My question is, can this library be also used to modify the WiFiNINA module?
Thank you. Your suggestions and answers will be much appreciated.

No. Completely different hardware.
Why do you want to change the MAC address? That address is defined to be exclusive to your device. So there is only one board with that MAC address. How do you know you are not using a MAC address twice?
I don't want the entire MAC address to change, I just need to change the OUI part because it traces back to the maker of the module.
That new MAC address you are trying to create is not yours to create. Somebody else is going to pay or has paid money to manufacture a device with that MAC address. Because the address needs to be unique even if you buy your own MAC address it will be traceable.
For a hobbyist there is no reason to change the MAC address. Somebody can find out who manufactured your Arduino WiFi module. So what?
