This doesn't work under OpenBSD, but I haven't tried Net just yet.  It
DOES work under OSs that don't have a completely STUPID ifconfig
command, like Linux and Solaris.  There is a program that will let you
change the mac address under OpenBSD,
http://www.dizum.com/openbsd/src/sea.c, but I haven't tried it.  As it
turned out, I said 'nah, don't need to test', and deployed things.
