And again and again and again: MAC-addresses aren't secure 0

Why the hell does so many people think, that they can secure anything while using MAC-adresses to “authorize”? Its a trite platitude that everyone can set the MAC-address to whatever he want. But ok, if no one trusts me, here is the implementation from the Gentoo-developers. The new layout of the net.ethX-initscripts allows to run something “pre up”. So you also can run a programm like macchanger. I’d made a small addition to display the MAC-address which was set.
