Bug Description
Fresh boot -> change MAC -> hibernate -> return from hiberation (works). I return from hibernation with my original MAC address, so my manually entered MACaddress is lost. When I try to change my MACaddress once again (after hibernation), my system locks up.
Note: This also happens when X is turned off.

I too have this problem, only my system doesn't lock up.
I change mac address with terminal:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 001122334455
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
Now if I return from hibernate I have to change my Mac Address again using the above commands. My system doesn't lock up, but it's really annoying to do this each time the computer returns from hibernation.
I'm using Ubuntu 7.04.
