Hi Netters: We are seeking a utility that will obtain the ethernet card address after the card has been installed in the Mac (so the user can't see the label on the card). IBM versions come with diagnostic software for this, as does Nuvotek(tm), other Mac cards do not have this capability. I'm no Mac guru but I assume the ethernet address should be available at some RAM addr. Does anybody know of a (preferably PD) program that can get the address? Thanx in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Peter Adamson __ _ _ | Univ of Oregon /_/( /_| | (petera@cs.uoregon.edu) / _)/ | | | They don't know what they don't know... | - An Englishman, I believe ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Peter Adamson __ _ _ | Univ of Oregon /_/( /_| | (petera@cs.uoregon.edu)
