You can clone them though... See
http://www.klcconsulting.net/Change_MAC_w2k.htm

(Most?) routers also allow this.  My cable mode is only accessible by (up
to) 5 MAC addresses, so when I got my router, rather than wait for a new
MA=
C
to be registered, I just changed the MAC on the router to the one on the
NI=
C
I already had registered.  Of course you have to remember not to use both
devices on the network at the same time! :-)  (the NIC was out of the
machine, so I've just got it in a bag with "ROUTER MAC" written
on it to
remind me :-)
