And the point '* You’re in a DHCP network with some kind of IP-based restriction' is paradoxic, since you would need an internet connection in the first place to install the program before you change the mac in order to log onto the network. This is how this should be done:

sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:a0:WH:AT:EV:ER
sudo ifconfig eth0 up

No need for third party software.
