IIRC, you're not actually changing the mac address on the NIC, but 
rather you're telling the Linux networking stack to use a mac other than 
the one provided by your card.  So I think this can be done with any 
NIC.  I know NetworkManager, for example, lets you edit individual 
network connections and set them to randomize the mac.
