Hi there!

Is there any reason why "ifconfig" doesn't implement any options onchanging MAC addresses? Why do I have to use this(http://wiki.netbsd.se/Faking_a_MAC_address) workaround?

I've read on the mailing lists there have been several discutions aboutthis issue. Did anybody try to patch "ifconfig" in order to add thatfunctionality?


Greets,

Victor
