Same here on a alubook G4: works like a charm to change the Ethernet
MAC address as I like, as it seems. Provided the interface is
down. Even on this old 2.6.18:
uname -a
Linux debby1-6 2.6.18-rc4-060811-dirty #1 Fri Aug 11 00:16:22 CEST
2006 ppc GNU/Linux
lspci -v | grep -i sun
0002:24:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Apple Computer Inc. Intrepid2 GMAC (Sun GEM)
# macchanger --mac=xx:[new MAC]:xx eth0
Current MAC: xx:[old MAC]:xx (unknown)
Faked MAC: xx:[new MAC]:xx (unknown)
HTH
