Talking How to Mask ur MAC address in BSD

I havent been using UNIX for that long, so this question might sound quite stupid to most of you. I want to know how to mask my MAC address
I found a command on how to do it but I dont think it works:
"ifconfig <interface> link <address>"
Unfortunately being the n00b I am, I dont really even know how to view my MAC address. So i dont really how to mask it, or even if this command worked or not. If anyone could please tell me how to check my MAC address and if there is a way to change it.
Thanks

The command you have should work. If it doesn't then read the ifconfig man page. Also, ifconfig is the command you want for info about your network interface's configuration. Use 'ifconfig -a' if you don't know the name (rl0, fxp0, xl0, etc.) of your ethernet card(s).

Good luck,

Dave
