mac address in AdafruitIO_ethernet.h appears to be hardcoded

[LaurieNZ]

I am using the Adafruit IO Arduino API example code, and trying to set the mac for my ethernet featherwing. It seems to be hardcoded in AdafruitIO_Ethernet.h to use the deadbeeffeed mac address. If I edit the hard coded one with mine, it works. (see below). The AdafruitIO_Ethernet.h file replaces the standard Ethernet.h to give the AdafruitIO support required. I can change the mac address using the standard Ethernet.h, but then I can't use the AdafruitIO credentials. There must be a better way to allow changing the mac address.

//Needed to edit this section of AdafruitIO_Ethernet.h to hard code my mac address

//
const char connectionType() { return "ethernet_wing"; }
protected:
byte _mac[6] = {0x04, 0x91, 0x62, 0xC7, 0xF1, 0xA7};
//byte _mac[6] ={0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED}; /!< Ethernet FeatherWing MAC Address */
EthernetClient _client; /!< Reference to EthernetClient, _client */
