RE: How to change mac address

["Chiu, PCM \(Peter\)" <P C M Chiu rl ac uk>]

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.

Isn't the MAC provided by the NIC and unique to every NIC?

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
