[comp.unix.wizards] finding the hardware ethernet address within a program

orr@neptune.UUCP (Rick Orr) (01/03/90)

How can you get the 48bit hardware ethernet address within a 
program? Is there a standard unix call to do this?

Thanks in Advance.

Try looking in the LLA manual for the series 300 or 800

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

do a man lan command, and use the FRAME_HEADER parameter to
get the header of the last frame send. this includes the 
source address - your ethernet address !
