   Changing the MAC address of a network card, if possible at all,   
   generally requires a tool for the specific card you have, and   
   probably the manufacturer of the card would have to provide it.   
   If you already have Windows (or some other OS) working on this   
   machine and your internet connection was working there, then you   
   shouldn't need to change your MAC address. I suspect that your   
   network card is simply not supported in BeOS. You might want   
   to try finding a driver for it on www.bebits.com
