Well, at least that explains why it isn't affecting me.  If it's ignoring 
the macchanger set MAC, my setup wouldn't be affected.

Hopefully Barry's BIOS suggestion helps.  If not, yet another suggestion 
would be to find what's doing the write at shutdown and either directly 
edit it or create a script that runs after it that rewrites or removes 
the problem file.

Right now, I'm frustrated with you. =8^(  Hope you get it working, 
however you do it!
