Avoid breaking connections and allow for persistent assignments #70

MacOS Sierra's ethernet connection resets the MAC when disconnected and reconnected.

To resolve this the proposed update looks to --maintain=<s> that MAC by reassigning it every <s> seconds.

To do so the assignment can't be brutish, it must only apply the current MAC isn't the target MAC. To allow for current functionality a brute --force option is available.

Can you share a link that documents this behavior? I have not experienced anything like this myself.
