How to change mac address

Fri Apr 27 07:31:27 UTC 2007

That is this site http://www.sontayamyblog.com

Quite a bit of non-english contents, but a search shows no reference to
changing mac address.
But I suspect ifconfig might do the trick.

	Yes, but you can change it.
	For Vms (www.openvms.compaq.com) for example, when Decnet starts
(before any other protocol like Tcpip, Lat, Lavc, Amds or any) it
changes the Mac address from (for example 08-00-2B-.... to
AA-00-04-00..., because it has the Decnet address in it. 
	A Decnet address of 3.2 means (3*1024)+2= 3074
	In hex, this is 0C04, so the Mac address will be (reversed)
aa-00-04-00-04-0C

	See http://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/wiz_4244.html 

	Regards
