[issue28009] core logic of uuid.getnode() is broken for AIX - all versions

Michael Felt added the comment: OK. as promised when I closed PR 5183 - a restart. You may skip the wall that follows - it is just documentation. The key points: * AIX ifconfig and arp do not supply maccaddr * netstat supplies a macaddr, but uses '.' not ':' as a delimiter ** also, AIX
