Is it possible to change the MAC address of the ethernet card on Macos?

Hi Carlo,

I'm aware that the MAC address is not persistent across reboots and/or card removal.

Could you please find out from your engineering guys if there's any other possibility (even unsupported) that would still allow me to change the MAC address of the card?

Reason I'm asking this is that our IT guys whitlist one MAC address (belonging to an Apple NIC) but are not willing to whitelist the Dell D3100 USB Hub NIC, and I'd still like to be able to use it with a changed MAC.

Thanks a lot! Your help is appreciated!
