RE: How to retrieve a MAC address

[Kipp, James]

i don't have access to a linux box at the moment (Solaris's ifconfig is
different) but I did find this in some older emails:
$ifconfig = '/sbin/ifconfig';
my @hwaddrs = `$ifconfig` =~ /\b((?:[a-f\d]{2}:){5}[a-f\d]{2})\b/gi;

you can do the rest :) and I did not test the regex
