Hi,

As root, do

	ifconfig eth0 down
	ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
	ifconfig eth0 up

assuming that your NIC device is eth0, and substituting the xx:xx.. with 
the desired MAC address.

If that does thhe job for you, you might want to edit

	/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

and set it there (I think the parameter was called HWADDR, but I am away 
from a fedora box)

Greets,
