Specifying/modifying the MAC of a virtual adapter

Hello to all you guys/gals, I have a couple questions about changing the Media Access Code for a virtual adapter [and a physical adapter] in a Windows XP environment. I am aware of a tool that can make use of the NdisReadNetworkAddress function, or rather, the particular registry extention in which it resides. My problem originates from the fact the adapter I need to redesignate is a virtual adapter miniport, so it doesn't initialize the 6-byte MAC the same way as a physical adapter. Is there a way I can change the MAC for this virtual device via a Windows DDK function call, or a way to edit the 6-byte code that is stored in the stack? I suspect the second way will be much easier, but getting access to a running memory register, I have little experience with that. Any tips/tools/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
