Hi. At 22:14 on 25 Feb 00, Gerry Doris begun to yabber about "[SLE] Cable Modem MAC Address" Date sent: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 22:14:56 -0500 (EST) From: Gerry Doris To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] Cable Modem MAC Address

I want to find out the mac address of my cable modem. Does anyone know how (no...it's not on a label on the bottom of the modem...I looked!!!).

You could try an indirect method.. Load up something like "iptraf" and then go into the Ethernet transmission menu and send some traffic over your Cable Modem.. The MAC address should show up with some traffic stats beside it.. I am not sure if this will work for different hardware, but if the cable modem follows a similar technology to an Ethernet NIC then you should see all the info..
