Is there a way to save this?
So I don't have to change it every time I restart the pc?

Ok i think i know what you did. I have 10.6.3 running on my macbook. Im not 100% sure but its an idea. I had to disassociate from all networks before changing my mac address. I tried turning my airport off and then i got "Device power is off" I then turned it on but DID NOT join a network and it worked fine. Here is the command i used:

sudo ifconfig en1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55

I hope i helped. If not i'll try to look more into the problem with my friend's macbook pro.

Here is a ksh script to make a random mac addr. for Mac Osx 10.6x
##############################################################
#!/bin/ksh
#
# Written by Graeme Mc Donough
# Copy and manipulate this .. but give me credit. for the code thanks.
# Version 1.0 16-04-2010
#
#
# This script is called "rand_mac.ksh"
#
#
# This script is free.. enjoy..
# This script was written to work with Mac Osx 10.6
# Mac OSX 10.6 ksh has a bug.. so I added a work around in the script.
#
# Assumptions
# * you have put in a link for the airport to /usr/sbin
# * you will run this script with "sudo ./rand_mac.ksh"
# * You will know how to use vi.. I am a unix person.. not a pico person.. so don't ask me
#
# NOTES
# * I found a way to make the Airport auto lock back on to your fav wireless
# just un-comment the 3 bottom lines. Note.. it may make the script not work well"
# Go figure /shrug

/usr/sbin/airport -z
