Stephen,
There is also an other option, if your NIC is supported, you can use
ethtool.lrp and set the mac-address by first doing an "ifdown eth0" then
"ethtool -s eth0 phyad " and after that "ifup eth0".
Once set it should be preserved between reboots.

Hi Stephen,
Good question, I don't have a direct answer. You could try a few things:
-Use your NIC (dos) utils to set the hw address.
-Use something like the following in the interfaces file:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up ip link set address eth0 up
-Add '-I ' to the OPTIONS line in
You can look at the DHCP client files and see where to send MAC address to
DHCP server, then specify the MAC of the old NIC.

hwaddress line in the in
