i have 2 cases where this would be useful.
1) a laptop whose MAC address got corrupted after waking from sleep on a network that was locked to registered MAC address. After sleeping it would not connected until rebooted (which restored the real MAC address)
2) on a network where the dhcp server gives you the same IP address that you had last time, by remebering your MAC address. but one particular IP address is broken (possibly a machine on the network is convinced that it should have it). I get stuck because the DHCP server keeps giving the bad IP address.
