Hi all, I know how to get the MAC addr of a network interface whose IP address is known. But what if the network interface has not been configured yet and doesnt have an IP address? Is there a way (thru system calls) to know the mac addresses of all network interfaces in the machine? Worst case i could grep the log files but that is so crude!
