Not to mention that any device using SLIP or PPP, (and probably other point-to-point protocols that don't require an address at the physical layer) may not have a MAC address or ANY analogous hardware layer address (even a PSTN). TCP/IP does not imply Ethernet. Admittedly this is not likely to be a common scenario, but the whole idea that a MAC address is a unique identifier for a device is based on a deep-seated confusion about the network stack. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
