Easiest method is one that was pointed out earlier - boot with a liveCD. Once booted up, ifconfig should show the MAC address (assuming the card is common enough for drivers to be loaded from the image). Some OS needs to be running to check it out under normal circumstances. The other option is to try a network boot and check request on the server side for MAC address. This needs far more knowhow than the first. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
