Randomized MAC address (WiFi)

Hey all,
Just wondering if Rocky (and RHEL 8/9 for that matter) automatically sets randomized MAC addresses for WiFi on a workstation laptop?
I want to have it randomize every time the WiFi connection is off, and restored. (Either shut down, aeroplane mode, sleep etc).
Is this generally enabled by default or something that needs to be manually configured?
Thanks in advance.

I googled a bit and found this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager#Configuring_MAC_address_randomization

Ahh thank you! I didn't even think of Arch wiki (great resource). Seems to be enabled by default which is good.
