I just did it like this:
ifconfig enp3s0
enp3s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.241.27.154 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.241.27.255
inet6 fe80::210:18ff:fe04:4d0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 00:10:18:04:04:d0 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

device interrupt 18
ifconfig enp3s0 hw ether 00:10:18:04:04:d7
ifconfig enp3s0
enp3s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
