ifconfig, under Linux at least:

  ifconfig eth0 hw ether de:ad:co:ed:ba:be

You'll probably need to down the interface before you can do this. Under
Red Hat, the clean way to do this is using 'ifdown eth0' and 'ifup
eth0'. If you want to change the MAC address 'permanently' (not really,
as the [EP|EEP]ROM contents aren't modified), drop the following line
into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (or whatever)

  MACADDR="de:ad:co:ed:ba:be"

and the interface will come up with that MAC address on every boot.
