Hardware is a keyword that evaluates to the MAC address of the interface
the packet is being sent on:
hardware
The hardware operator returns a data string whose first element is
the type of network interface indicated in packet being considered,
and whose subsequent elements are client’s link-layer address. [...]
as I mentioned. The problem being that it's accessible in some contexts, but not this one, apparently.
So I don't want "hardware" as the string, I want:
01:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the MAC address of eth0 (or whatever).
Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
