We have a need to obtain the hardware ethernet address within a program.
We can obtain this address on a Sun using an ioctl call on /dev/nit
([sun-spots program] getaddr.c ) Does anyone know how one could obtain the
physical ethernet address in ultrix, in particular for the dec5000, MIPS
based workstation?

If this is not of general interest, you can email to ralf@aai.com.  I will
also check for followups.

Thanks for any help!
