I mentioned below that this is bug 4720634.  It actually looks to me like
SIOCGIFHWADDR is more widely supported although all I have to base that on
is a quick google survey.  If somebody wants to pick up this RFE I'm willing
to work with you on the (internal) process part of this.  I've cc'd the
approachability discussion list as this is in the class of developer
approachability problems.

If not I'll probably pick it up sooner or later.
