I never got it to work with a different MAC address.  Here is my current setup:

Windoze
- -----------
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network
Connection
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-13-CE-89-F2-48

CoLinux
- ---------
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:CE:89:F2:48


It is well documented here:

http://wiki.colinux.org/wiki/Network#PCAP.2BWireless_issues
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9455968

as to why.

Also the Wiki mentions possibly needing to run in non-promiscuous mode on
some wireless cards to successfully use bridging
