Power How do I mask my MAC address

I posted this thread under BSD but realized that it actually belongs here instead.... makes more sense to put it under IP. So without further delay on to my problem ...
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 Smilie

XVIF(4) 						 BSD/xen Kernel Interfaces Manual						   XVIF(4)

NAME
xvif -- Xen backend paravirtualized network interface SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device xvif DESCRIPTION
The xvif interface forms the backend part of the paravirtualized drivers used by Xen domains to offer network connectivity. When the guest domain is NetBSD, the endpoint of the xvif interface is a xennet(4) interface. In the XenStore, xvif and xennet are identi- fied by ``vif'' (virtual interface) entries. All xvif interfaces follow the ``xvifXiY'' naming convention, where 'X' represents the guest domain identifier, and 'Y' an arbitrary identi- fier; most of the time, it is the frontend interface identifier, e.g. ``xennetY''. For convenience, the MAC address of an xvif interface is chosen by incrementing the third byte of the MAC address of the frontend device. Conceptually, frontends and backends drivers are similar to two Ethernet cards connected via a crossover cable. DIAGNOSTICS
xvif%di%d: can't read %s/mac: %d The MAC address for this interface could not be read from XenStore. xvif%di%d: %s is not a valid mac address The MAC address specified in the configuration file of the newly created guest domain is invalid. xvif%di%d: Ethernet address %s MAC address of the xvif interface. SEE ALSO
ifmedia(4), xennet(4), ifconfig(8) HISTORY
The xvif driver first appeared in NetBSD 4.0. AUTHORS
The xvif driver was written by Manuel Bouyer <bouyer@NetBSD.org>. BSD
