MAC cloning available like Linux has?

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi,

Please file a PR for this. I think this (and mac address
setup/changing on net80211, similar issues) needs both some better
documentation/FAQ entries and updates to the rc scripts.

I think we may want to add an ifconfig_X_ether="" to set the L2
address appropriately for an interface.

Thanks,



Adrian
