If you are trying to use the mac address as a hard-to-spoof security token, forget it, it is ridiculous. You want a smart card with crypto authentication. Some cheap and convenient dev kits are available from www.basiccard.com. Shipping charges from Germany to the US (what you get through the online order form) are ridiculous, but there's a distributor now in Canada now and the shipping charges from there are much more reasonable. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
