Is there a specific reason that in MacAddress it uses "ifconfig" or other utilities to grab the Mac Address as opposed to the java API java.net.NetworkInterface? There's a comment in that code that says that code was copied from some public domain utility. So I'm guessing its there just because that's what somebody wrote back before Java 6 introduced NetworkInteface.getHardwareAddress(). I'd like to rewrite this code to use the standard API, grab the Mac deterministically and also not use ifconfig which was deprecated 3 years ago.
