Is there a real need? :)

At least on linux, man ifconfig:

[...]

hw class address
        Set  the  hardware address of this interface, if the device driver supports
        this operation.  The keyword must be followed by the name of the hardware 
        class and the printable ASCII equivalent of the hardware address.  Hardware
        classes currently supported include ether (Ethernet), ax25 (AMPR AX.25), 
        ARCnet and netrom (AMPR NET/ROM).
[...]

So: 

root@deamon:~# ifconfig eth0 | grep eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:18
root@deamon:~# ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:00
root@deamon:~# ifconfig eth0 | grep eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:00

And job done ;)

Bye,
