David,
I tried Don's Suggestion and scanned my Ambicom card with Open Book. I was
able to read the MAC address without any problems. If you have an Ambicom
card, the word "MAC" is followed by a bar code and the address itself is
underneath the barcode. You might hear some gibberish after the word MAC,
but you will then hear the address. I forget how many of the digits are the
manufacturers code, but my address starts with 0010. The numbers do not
have any delimiters between them so it will sound just like a 12 digit
number. I also limit access to my LAN by MAC address. This is a very good
security measure.

Subject: [Braillenote] Getting my Wireless card's Mac Address using BN?
Hi All,
I'm setting up my Braille note's wireless card to connect to my wireless
network. I have set up my router to have a wireless access list. This
means that I only allow those wireless devices to connect to my wireless
network by using their Mac Address. I'm just wondering if there is a
program or utility which I could use with the Braille Note to get the Mac
Address of my Braillenote's wireless card? I believe the card's Mac
address
is written on the wireless card itself but we don't have any sighted
people
in the house to read it. Any info on the above is much appreciated.
