This is so cool I want one.
From Scarab Aviation Labs based in Russia comes the Begalet - Universal Personal Transport.
It can be used on land, water and snow (with modification) and it can fly!
The craft weighs just 55Kg's when empty and can reach a maximum speed of 80kph on land and up to 160kph in the air (according to some reports). It seems to be a motorised paraglider but Scarab also have some fixed wing versions in development.
It uses a parachute in case of emergency landing when airborne and a bouyancy device to stop it sinking when on the water.
The engine delivers just 30hp with a range of up to 400km so it should be quite economical to run as well.

Changing MAC address
I was asked this and didn't know the answer, as the boxes I have had always have unique mac address, so it was never a problem... however it was pretty easy to change as detailed below:
Telnet to the DM, and type the following commands:
cd /var/etc
rm init
echo \#!/bin/sh >> init
echo ifconfig eth0 down >> init
echo ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx >> init
echo ifconfig eth0 up >> init
chmod 755 init
reboot
You need to change the xx:xx:xx to the mac address you want. Then the box will reboot... and the MAC address is changed. Easy!
