Well, if you have the card in your hand and are just looking
at it, often there's a sticker with the MAC address on it.
If it's in the machine, try "ifconfig -a" and look for the
string "HWaddr" on the interface you're interested in,
e.g. "eth0":
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8B:10:2B:06
...
The drivers often print out the MAC as part of their init
banner. You can try "dmesg" and look for where your driver
is initialized and look for something relevent:
eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet, 00:50:8B:10:2B:06, IRQ 11.
