OK. I was calling the physical address by the wrong name.
My computer's MAC address can be found with "/sbin/ifconfig" but my concern remains the same: Can this physical address be forged with edited firmware ? Certainly there is a big enough address space for every gizmo in international communications to have a unique identity, and I want to curtail access of the physical devices used by rogue operators to my personal telephone.
Will the FCC require disclosure of a device's physical address as a prerequisite to its use in electronic or wireless communications ?
