The "dmesg" command will show you the real MAC addresses. Grepping on qfe
will separate out the noise. [EMAIL PROTECTED] already posted the
ifconfig command:
To set your MAC address to whatever you want:
From root shell:
# ifconfig qfe0 ether 8:0:20:be:a:ca
-- Joe

OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
