	I don't think this is accurate.  At least in most adapters I'm
familiar with, the "hard" address, the one programmed into the ROM, is
not directly connected to the adapter itself.  The driver must read
that address from the ROM and write it into the adapter.  The address
recognition is based on what's dynamically written into the adapter,
not what's burned into the ROM.  AFAIK, most adapters assume the
driver is going to put the source address into the packet before
transmitting.  The only thing the adapter adds on output is the FCS.

	As others have indicated in this thread, you should be able to
change the address under program control.  You'll probably have to
think through a few issues like ARP if you do this after the system
has transmitted packets, though.
