I'd like to find the mac address of my machine running solaris 10 (currently
on x86). Is there a way to do this programatically?

Thanks in advance.

send a netbios query packet can do it. but i also want to know how to
implement it

I found two sources which looks interesting:

This seems almost the same way as I implemented it under linux:
http://rpms.alerque.com/BUILD/ooo-build-1.9.104/build/src680-m104/sal/osl/unx/util.c

I didn't test it yet because of lack of time.

Instead I went into the source code of ifconfig and wanted to do the same
way as the OS itself.

http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/cmd-inet/usr.sbin/ifconfig/ifconfig.c#print_ifether

However theres a lot of code to rip and I got stuck with libdlpi. It seems
libdlpi and it's header file are not installed on my solaris and I failed to
find out how to do it. Of course I could just grab it's source and do it
myself but I would guess theres a better way. Any pointers are apreciated.

If you get either of these methods working I'd be interested in hearing
about it.

I use DLPI now, I used to parse the output of arp `hostname` (or
something like that).

Under Linux, you call ioctl with the option SIOCGIFHWADDR
It is documented in netdevice(7). I suspect Solaris might well be similar.
