See the IFOPTS option in network-profile? You can specify the MAC
address in it. Just like this:

# Interface Settings (use IFOPTS="dhcp" for DHCP)
IFOPTS="hw ether 00:E0:4C:4C:F7:6E 172.18.60.55 netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 172.18.60.255"
GATEWAY=172.18.60.1

It's just an example above. I use this setting at home so I can ensure
that it works.
You can change the setting by yourself, only keeping the "hw ether"
setting first.

P.S. Sorry for my english, too. :(
