Hi guys,
Does anyone know...
Is it possible to change the mac address of an ethernet card using
ifconfig? Does this depend upon the ioctls supported by the
specific driver?
Thanks.

Not in any 'standard' card, no. Some cards (in SUN workstations) allow

One of the purposes of changing the MAC address is for server
redundancy.
Suppose that one of your "important" servers went down. Wouldn't it
be nice for the alternative server (a mirror) to get the "important"
server's MAC address (and IP address(es), and AppleTalk address, etc.),

For people who have idle cpu to spare, this is a good time to start
putting those cycles to good use with the Seti project! The project
has been running a beta test for a while, but as of May 13th 1999 they
reset the stats and introduced new clients for Unix, Windows, and the Mac.

You have to have the capibility on the switch, and enable it
first. It is called EtherChannel by Cisco, and it is 2 or 4 ports
that all have the same MAC addr plugged into the switch, and the
switch treats them as one interface.
