There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and
those who don't.

It's only way to change mac in card's memory (however it sounds :)
But OS loads it from card's memory into system's and it can be changed
there.

Nope. It is cached in the registry. Some drivers allow you to change it
through the Control Panel, others don't. If your driver doesn't then you
can change the registry (with the usual disclaimer about messing with
the registry - do it at your own risk etc). Here's instructions:

Out of curiosity, you assume that every card has the ability to use a
different address, regardless of whether it lets the user change it via
the driver software?

There are cards out there that allow you to change the MAC address via
their builtin BIOS or their driver software. If you can't find the
option in one of these places, you are out of luck.

The MAC address is usually considered pretty static, because there are
allocated pools per manufacturer of network cards. Obviously they try to
avoid collisions of identical MAC addresses. So don't play around with
that address if you don't know what you're doing!

under Linux you would just use:
ifconfig eth1 hw ether 00:FF:00:FF:00:FF

AFAIK after restart MAC address will be reset to previous value

It should be:
ifconfig eth1 down hw ether 00:FF:00:FF:00:FF

I know also how to change it under WindowsXP, do you want it?

Don't worry.You do not need to buy another network adapter.

If you are using windows xp.Just follow the exactly step:
windows desktop-->My Computer-->right click to show the context
menu-->select properties-->select the Hardware tab-->Device Manage-->exapned
the net work adapter tree-->right click the network adapter you want to
change the mac adress and select properties-->click the adavanced
tab-->select Network Adress in the property list box-->there was a textbox
just bellow the text "value"-->check it and fill your new mac adress(No '-'
needed)

This will solve your problem under windows xp.And you should find a
application for the sample purpose under other windows os.And I am not quite
sure about the name of that application.

Regrads.
