I'm working on a pcap/winpcap c# library, SharpPcap. I was wondering what the best way to get a devices mac address was, preferrably in a manner that would work in both pcap and with winpcap. So far I've seen code that captures packets on the interface and looks in them for the mac address, I've also seen code that sends an arp packet I guess using the adapter ip address. I wanted to see if these were the best ways, if anyone had any recommendations.
