Nope, its an actual NIC, a Linksys, which is what I've got in all 3 comps on
my LAN - they've been rock solid until now, but they are anywhere from 3 - 5
years old.
Yes. There is a command to change how the actual hardware address of the NIC
is reflected (this is with the IPX tools installed:
"ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2 0x12345678"
Quite some time since I used it - it was primarily in conjunction with trying
to get an earlier version of Starcraft to work with networking. Thankfully,
the later updates to Starcraft allowed networking, and not having to use IPX
as the protocol.
