You can change the MAC address of most modern nics in your Linux box like 
so (filling in the values appropriate for your situation, replace the 
"??" with the MAC address you need, of course):

[root at youboxnamehere] ifconfig eth0 hw ether ??:??:??:??:?? 

I used to do this for quite some time, until I broke down and bought a
