It's kinda strange that you're in a Unix security class and you're being asked to run a NAC remedy on your Unix system that was designed for Windows. > Is there any way to change how the software can view the mac address > of my machine?

That's a strange choice if that's the only Linux distribution that they support. You could try installing VirtualBox on your laptop and then running a Fedora guest, so that you could run this agent. Seems like a lot of trouble, however. Why does the Cisco Clean Agent FAQ say that only Windows is supported, and not Linux or MacOSX? http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6128/products_qanda_item09186a00803b7a92.shtml
