Thanks, Mark... I tried this in my copy of RedHat 9, and I don't get
anything with "HWaddr" in /sbin/ifconfig. When I looked at Mark Waddingham's
approach of doing "cat /proc/net/arp", I didn't get anything either. The
only thing I got with /sbin/ifconfig is the localhost address (127.0.0.1).


So perhaps it's not as universal as we'd think... any suggestions for
getting MAC address in RedHat 9?

Stupid question - but are you sure you had an ethernet interface up and
running on the Redhat9 box when you tried this ?

Not a stupid question at all... I had a wireless interface set up and
assumed that I had already set up the ethernet interface... but apparently I
hadn't. So after I set up my ethernet interface, I saw the "HWAddr" that
Mark identified.


Thanks for the reality check, Alex!

:-)

Just got here and read the messages. Got scared there for a sec. Do we need the "-a" part that Pierre suggested?
