As you can see:
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet Adresse:127.0.0.1 Maske:255.0.0.0
and whoops, things like /bin/cut -b or head/tail --bytes are not
accurate anymore.

Hi again,
You could have shown an interface which actually has a hardware address
;-), but I get your point;
A grep for HWaddr is not valid since it changes name over different locales.
However, I still think something like:
/sbin/ifconfig [interface] | head -n1 | tail --bytes=20 | head --bytes=17
would always apply, since different locales does not change the position
of the output of the address itself (as far as i know)
Hence it would always be 1. line, last 20 chars (-3 "empty" at the end).
Best regards
Sylvester
