Hi,
I would like to figure out the MAC Address of the Ethernet and the Wireless Interfaces on my laptop. I have used the below commands with the following outputs.
Code:$ ifconfig -a | grep HWaddr eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 38:59:f9:10:12:13Code:$ ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 38:59:f9:10:12:13 inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::3a59:f9ff:fe10:1213/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:71 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:7 TX packets:139 errors:18 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:30782 (30.7 KB) TX bytes:20338 (20.3 KB) Interrupt:17 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:29 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:29 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2226 (2.2 KB) TX bytes:2226 (2.2 KB)I am currently connected using my wireless connection and I also have an ethernet port that I don't use. The above commands only provide me the MAC Address of the wireless connection. Is there a way to get the MAC Address of the ethernet connection without actually being connected through the ethernet LAN port?Code:$ sudo lshw -C network [sudo] password for masoud: *-network description: Wireless interface product: BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller vendor: Broadcom Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0 logical name: eth0 version: 01 serial: 38:59:f9:10:12:13 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=wl0 driverversion=5.100.82.38 ip=192.168.0.3 latency=0 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11 resources: irq:17 memory:f0500000-f0503fff *-network UNCLAIMED description: Ethernet controller product: AR8162 Fast Ethernet vendor: Atheros Communications Inc. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0 version: 10 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm pciexpress msi msix bus_master cap_list configuration: latency=0 resources: memory:f0400000-f043ffff ioport:2000(size=128)
Any pointers will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
