Interesting... This means that the impossibility of spoofing MAC is
software related (as a new kernel module can fix that apparently) and
not only hardware related. Until now I thought it was only hardware
related...

'<!--') for some time and then remove it after some time.

Please submit a patch for whatever you prefer.
