manually assigned mac address

as I suspected the ifconfig hw ether statement works just fine,
unfortunately however when I specify a HWADDR within the config file it
just errors telling me that the mac specified doesn't match the one on
the card.
Does anyone know how to resolve this one ?
Thanks In Advance
