Peter,
try typing "ifconfig" on the command line
it will give you lots of information about your nic, ie on mine:
$ ifconfig
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.3.8 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.3.255
inet6 fe80::203:47ff:feec:360c%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ether 00:03:47:ec:36:0c
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
