Summary: FreeBSD vmxnet dont support setting mac address.

Initial Comment:
The module for freebsd dont have the code for mac address setting.
I've done a small patch to support it but this have exposed another issue: the mac address set will not be resetted to default when the VM reboot. It will need a full shutdown / restart cycle.
