Change MAC address on eth1 ??

hey all. great product and even more amazing community!

My probem is that my ISP uses MAC based security and my current router allows for mac address cloning so its a non issue currently. Im ready to switch over to e-smith and the command:

ifconfig eth1 hw XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

works correctly to change the address but when I reboot e-smith box my external interface is back to the standard hw address. How can I make this change permanent ?
