This retry logic seems a bit convoluted; how about:
try {
Enumeration<NetworkInterface> ifcs =
NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();
if (ifcs.hasMoreElements()) {
byte[] bs = ifcs.nextElement().getHardwareAddress();
if (bs == null && ifcs.hasMoreElements()) { // try up to two
bs = ifcs.nextElement().getHardwareAddress();
}
if (bs != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < 8 && i < bs.length; ++i)
h = (h << 8) ^ bs[i];
break;
}
}
} catch (Exception ignore) {
}
?
