    I just want a script that will enter the terminal command:

    sudo ifconfig en1 lladdr 00:00:00:00:00:00

    on bootup, preferably without me actually seeing the terminal window every time.

    Put the line in a text document (save it with .command extension). <strike>You then have to write an automator script that executes the shell script</strike> You then have to set permissions for it via Terminal with the chmod command (set it to 755 or 777 for full access by everyone), and then add it to Login Items in System Pref>Accounts.
