Hello,
    I've got an rl0 nic on a freebsd6 machine that i need to change it's mac 
address on a tempoary basis. I will want to change it back when my testing 
is complete. I read this was feasible with opbnbsd, and was wondering if the 
capability was available in fbsd6? Also, does it matter which tempoary mac 
address i give the card?
Thanks.
Dave.
