How do i find my MAC address in ubuntu 8 ?

I just installed ubuntu and can get online ok...but cannot connect to my secondary computer on a wired network. the connecting DSL box needs my
Mac Address. How do I pull it up here? ifconfig doesn't show it.
thank you for any helpful response.

ifconfig | grep HWaddr or lspci

Hi,

The MAC address should be in your ifconfig details:

Code:

$ sudo ifconfig eth0

[sudo] password for xxx:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:18:bb:c4:f2:80

          inet addr:192.168.1.10  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          inet6 addr: fe80::218:8bff:fec4:f289/64 Scope:Link

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX packets:1336897 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          TX packets:708366 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

          RX bytes:1987683628 (1.9 GB)  TX bytes:59476637 (59.4 MB)

          Interrupt:17

If not, look for ethtool, that should give you lots of info.
