   Hello Tommi,

   I can not change the MAC address for the IPv6 router...   
      
   That needs a bit of explaining. My ISP, Ziggo, only provides native IPv6 to   
   non bussines accounts with a very limited set of modem/routers. These   
   modem/routers do not allow changing the MAC address.   
      
   I can have the modem set in bridge mode and use my own router. Then I can   
   change the WAN MAC address. But with the modem/router in bridge mode, I only   
   have IP4.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
