As long as an attempt to set the MAC address returns an error
that is meaningful (ENOTSUP?), that is fine.  I still believe
you should be able to tell the clone device to do this, and
have it call down through (all the way) to the actual device
driver.  Having to jump through hoops trying to configure
lagg on a cloned device is ugly.  But at least it is possible,
so I'm extremely happy for that :-)

Ok, thanks for the info.
