Included is a small patch to linux 2.0.35 that allows each aliased
device to have it's own mac separate from that of the actual device and
other aliases, making your single network card look like several from
any other node on the network,

This patch was developed on linux 2.0.35 for use with ethernet devices,
it may not be compatible with all systems or hardware.

usage:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.2
/sbin/ifconfig hw ether deadbeef0001

This patch will put the real device in promisc to allow it to receive
all packets then use the kernel's network driver to drop packets that
don't match any device.
