MAC address setting for ether card

Dear list members,

I am a linux user who is looking for recent Linux ethernet cards that supports the setting of the HW MAC address from driver (i.e., with the ifconfig command). (I would like to access a cable modem service with two Linux boxes w/o each time re-registering the MAC address with the provider. Naturally, only one of the machines would connect at the same time, so there would be now MAC address conflict)

Scanning the drivers/net section of the 2.2.17 kernel source, it seems only the drivers de4x5.c, depca.c, ewrk3.c drivers support this. These drivers are for mainly Digital cards out-of-stock now. 

Is there any such feature for Realtek cards? OR any other "current" card? Any advice is greatly appreciated. 

Please CC your kind answer to [email protected] as well.

Thank you in advance.
