So, actually there are some reasons for changing the MAC. The only thing
that is lacking is a tool to do so... no hints about that, apart from
"you don�t want to do that" without explanation (sorry, Donald, I may
be a novice to that issue, but some explaining words would be much
better than just telling me what I want and what I don�t want to do).
