Hello,
now the question may seem simple ("how to grab the MAC address of a
given interface"), but what is actually a "portable" way that does not
potentially break when upgrading to a newer openSUSE?
I could fiddle with `hwinfo --network` or try parse `ip l sh dev br0`
output, but what's actually best? [Using sh.]
How about this?
% cat /sys/class/net/eth?/address
eshsf
Or the long version:
/sbin/ifconfig [interface] | grep HWaddr | tail --bytes=20 | head --bytes=17
I'm sure that could be rewritten to something less ugly to ignore the
last three "empty" bytes.
This will work on other dists aswell, where as
/sys/class/net/eth?/address does not exists on e.g. debian iirc.
