Where exactly does a router clone the mac address from for a cable modem service. Does it get it form the cable modem of from the network card??

It works usually in two ways (one or the other)
The first, used by Cisco routers, is a built in Mac Address, which you can change through the routers console.
The more likely question you are asking is the other type.
I comes from the computer on which you choose to clone the mac address from. For example, on my old linksys "router" when I cloned the mac address (hitting the clone button) it would change to the mac address to the installed network card in whatever computer I was hitting the clone button on.
But that's cloning, some routers work by choosing the first (without cloning necissarily) mac address it comes accross on the network.
