Yes! Please! It would also be nice, if possible to be able to

    ifconfig en0 lladdr 00:03:93:ce:11:35 alias

(using the same mechanism we use on that card for adding link-level
multicast addresses).

I started hacking this in a while back, but ran into a few more issues
than I had time for.

This is very hand for, among other things, doing failover between
machines.

Not that I know of, outside of hacking the Ethernet driver.
