Instead of replacing the NIC can't he just use the "link" address family
option in ifconfig to assign a different MAC address so that it appears to
be a different machine?
flagg# ifconfig fxp1
fxp1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:30:48:11:be:23
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
flagg# ifconfig fxp1 ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
flagg# ifconfig fxp1
fxp1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
