Log message:
	When setting the MAC address, if the interface is UP, then
	first explicitly set it DOWN, set the MAC address, and then
	restore its status to UP.
	This is needed, because we may not be able to set the MAC address
	if the interface is not DOWN (limitation imposed by the Linux kernel).
	
	This fixes Bugzilla entry #193
