Default Automate MAC & HOSTNAME changes in Linksys WRT54G NAT wireless router

Is there an existing automated way to change the MAC address & hostname of
my home ROUTER (Linksys WRT54G)?

I know about Gorlani's MacMakeUp manual MAC address-spoofing tool but it
works on the WinXP computer - but this doesn't help anyone behind a NAT
router - as the ROUTER's MAC address is what the Internet "sees"
(http://www.gorlani.com/publicprj/mac...macmakeup.asp).

Manually, I can change the MAC address of the Linksys WRT54G wireless NAT
by going to the Linksys WRT54G MAC Address tool inside the router at
http://192.168.10.10/WanMAC.htm - which works fine - and can do the same
with the router HOSTNAME (which the Internet also sees) - but these changes
are all manual.

Since the Linksys WRT54G router runs Linux, I started googling for a more
automated way to periodically change both the router's MAC address (which
is the only MAC address the Internet sees) and the router's host name. I
soon came across you guys in the process (e.g., Mad Macs changes both the
host name and MAC address of the PC NIC card
(http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=s...ac&mode=print). But Mad
Macs won't do a thing to change the MAC address or HOSTNAME shown to the
Internet because the ROUTER's hostname and MAC address are what the
Internet "sees".

In digging through your archives for a script to run on the ROUTER, I see
you guys wrote automated scripts to spoof the MAC address & hostname of
Windows & Linux PCs
(http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=s...mac&mode=print) ... but
being behind a NAT ......

Has anyone yet written a program to automatically change the MAC address &
HOSTNAME of the wireless router?

I also asked this question at binrev but haven't seen any response yet
