Actually I believe it's called cloning the Mac address, it's not quite the
same thing but close enough I guess.

go to google and search on "changing Mac address" without the
quotes, the top hit is my site and a stolen page that tells you
how to do it via one of two different methods. The second one is a bit more
involved (for cards that don't support cloning) but works..
