There's probably some more elegant way of doing it but think something like
this would work for post-95 Windows builds :
mac = `ipconfig /all`.match(/Physical
Address.*/).to_s.split(':').last.strip.gsub('-',':').downcase
You could do something similar on unix by calling ifconfig and then parsing the
result in a similar way.
