ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:A0:24:8B:B5:42 # replace with real desired MAC
before you invoke /sbin/dhcpcd -c WHATEVER eth0
etc.
I do this at home, so I can change what machine is connected to my cable
modem without changing cards (so if they make be do dumb windows things
to debug my problem, I can connect windoze machine whose card owns
the MAC address they know).
