In that case, the best answer is probably to do it the way ifconfig does: open the DLPI node (/dev/<name> or /dev/<name><ppa>), and use DL_PHYS_ADDR_REQ to get the address. -- James Carlson, IP Systems Group <james.d.carlson(a)sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.234W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.497N Fax +1 781 442 1677

You would not have to leave it plumbed. You could plumb it (but not set up a tcp address), find out the mac address, and then unplumb it. You would only have to do this once. -- Tom Schulz schulz(a)adi.com |
