[ale] Hardware Alias

[Jason Lynn]

I cannot explain how to get it working if it is not already.  :)  I suppose 
all you need is ifconfig and a NIC driver that supports this function.  All 
I had to do was:
ifconfig <interface> hw ether <MAC>
(where interface=eth0,eth1,etc. and MAC is the address you wish to change 
to)
I believe this is correct, though I'm doing it from memory, so you may want 
to check....
