How can I find out the MAC address on my AmigaOne?
« on: November 23, 2003, 04:04:43 PM »
Hi,

I have searched high & low (Forums & FAQs) to get this but I haven't got a clue.

I am on Blue Yonder & need to register each MAC address I am using to get online. It's sorted on my Classic Amiga (Using MiamiDX) but I cannot find this info using any of the software on Linux Debian on my A1.

Can anyone help?

A simple method I use.

Ping your AmigaOne from another machine and in the shell type:

arp -a
Internet Address      Physical Address
192.168.1.1                00-50-7F-01-9d-9b

The Physical address=MAC address

From NetBSD experience:

dmesg : should print out the messages from the kernel boot, including the network interfaces and their respective MAC addresses.

ifconfig ne0 : it will print the network card unit 0 settings, including MAC.

You know you don't have to search Teron-specific forums and FAQs, don't you? Linux is Linux, no matter what hardware it happens to be running on.

Anyway, like Cass said, but for Linux, type "ifconfig eth0" (or just "ifconfig" to see all interfaces).

You can use ifconfig to change MAC addresses as well.
man ifconfig
