"falls apart" is a bit lacking on the details :-)

Technically, it's "duct" tape (although there is one company that
capitalizes on the mispronunciation by calling theirs "Duck(tm) Tape".

This function updates the filter for the interface @ifname with the
unique identifier @id so that it uses the new MAC address of the guest
interface @ifmac_ptr.
