how to find MAC Address

[CrHaRcIzS]

how do you find out what the MAC Address for the wireless internet is??

ifconfig

You're looking for the "HWaddr" entry

ifconfig -a should all available interfaces - even if down.
lshw -C network should also work, but it takes a bit more digging to find.

My experience (2 days) teaches me that in the latest version (9.10) the command ifconfig gives me no information about the wireless adapter. For that, I had to use iwconfig, but that doesnt tell me the MAC address.

try hwinfo --wlan

Hello,

Have you tried:

ifconfig | grep HWaddr

Right click on the network connection in the panel and select 'Connection Information'. The second line, 'Hardware Address' shows you the MAC address.

I suppose it's worth asking which MAC address you seek - the wireless adapter (in your computer) or the access point?
