It was my understanding that it's done by putting the card into
promiscuous mode. The kernel then filters out the MAC address it's
interested in. I may be completely wrong, but I'm sure it was at least
as evil as that.
Out of interest - why would you want to change the MAC anyway?

Picturesque meant - he decided after careful observation of the
scenery that inspired Twoflower to use the word - that the landscape
was horribly precipitous. Quaint, when used to describe the
occasional village through which they passed, meant fever-ridden and
tumbledown.
