I know it is certainly possible to masquerade a MAC address on Linux, and 
of course of Fedora. I believe there is a parameter you put in your 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file (or you can configure with 
redhat-config-network) that will do this.

All I can suggest for good docs is the files in 
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-x.x.xx.x. You should find the answer in there 
somewhere. Grep the files for "ifcfg" and that should get you to the right 
places without a lot of reading.
