CentOS command-line Program to Randomly change my MAC address?

OS: CentOS 5.3 Enterprise Server
Red Hat Nash Version 5.1.19.6

I need to find a command-line program to randomly change my MAC address.

Can anyone please direct me to the right place and how to install it.

I know on Ubuntu there is a program called 'macchanger'.

And on Windows another one called 'macshift'.

I just can't find one for CentOS 5.3 Enterprise Edition.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

just use the ifconfig command

Code:

ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01
ifconfig eth0 up

It changes my MAC address except I do not have internet anymore.
