Did you test MAC adress change with ifconfig with the card that doesn not
support MAC changing? I mean that in my opinion this should work with any
card working with linux. But I had no chance to play with cards that have
no hardware ability to change their MACs. Does ifconfig really can't
change MAC in this case? BTW: with M$ windows 2000 you may easily change
your MAC via usua GUI in network iface properties, even w/o rebooting
AFAIR.
