The selection of the card is under the control of the user
(attacker). The selection of the operating system is under the control
of the user (attacker). Therefore, the ability of an attacker to
select the MAC addresses is ALWAYS under his control. Even if it means
he has to run out to Joe's Computer Shack and pick up a different card
and switch to it, it is under HIS control and NOT yours.
