Under Debian Wheezy permanent network configuration takes place in /etc/network/interfaces file. Is it possible to configure hwaddress for an interface without configuring other network parameters like address or netmask? Something like:root@1:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).# The loopback network interfaceauto loiface lo inet loopbackauto eth0iface eth0hwaddress ether DE:AD:BE:EF:69:01# The primary network interfaceauto eth0.100iface eth0.100 inet static        address 10.1.1.2        netmask 255.255.255.0        network 10.1.1.0        broadcast 10.1.1.255        gateway 10.1.7.1root@1:~#
