Use ifconfig.
For example:
$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:77:4F:B9
inet addr:192.168.6.142 Bcast:192.168.6.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1736042 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2659 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xb800
See the hardware address (HWaddr) above? That's it.
(sometimes the MAC is also printed on a sticky label on the outside of
the card)
