Could someone point me towards how to retrieve an ethernet mac address from
user-land code ? If it matters, we are running 2.2.1
If someone has a working snippet, I would be grateful. A good pointer
towards a FAQ or doc would also be helpful.
I have been staring at netstat and ifconfig source for a few hours, but am
having trouble making heads or tails. netstat usese kvm() and ifconfig uses
sysctl(). I can't find enough docs of either method to get my head around
what is needed to just extract mac address.
Thanks
