In article <5galqg$5iu@mailhub.scitec.com.au>:
|Does anybody have a program that can be used to extract the ethernet
|hardware (MAC) address from the ethernet device?

You mean plug in any card and read the address? Unfortunately the
address is stored in different ways depending on the design of the
card. Of course, once the card is recognised, it's trivial to get the
address. I think there's an ioctl to return i/f info. The source of
ifconfig would be a good place to start looking.

        Cheers, Ken
