This is from when I _tryed_ to get MacOS connected (MacOS works fine now):

Apr  7 20:14:11 192.168.64.5
25517: 6w3d: %PORT_SECURITY-2-SECURITYREJECT: Security violation occurred
on module 0 port 9 caused by MAC address 0005.0226.4c0d
Apr  7 20:15:44 192.168.64.5
25519: 6w3d: %PORT_SECURITY-2-SECURITYREJECT: Security violation occurred
on module 0 port 9 caused by MAC address 0005.0226.4c0d
Apr  7 20:16:19 192.168.64.5
25520: 6w3d: %PORT_SECURITY-2-SECURITYREJECT: Security violation occurred
on module 0 port 9 caused by MAC address 0005.0226.4c0d

Now my NIC is reged under that MAC. Is there any way to change which MAC
linux is reading?
