Returns 78:45:c4:30:16:3a (this is the hardware MAC address for wired connections NOT the wireless connection NOR the actual MAC number needed by the router - see above) OK, here we are and not real well figured out. Sooooo - is there an actual way to find the real MAC address from the Linux command line? Wlp3s0 is the wireless connection and using the ifconfig command shows the correct IP address mappedīUT neither 78:45:c4:30:16:3a nor a4:17:31:03:05:f8 is the true MAC address - my router is using MAC:: 16:49:f7:03:05:f8 to map the IP address I want correctly. None show anything like the term "hwaddr" (mentioned in net articles)Īnd below is the excerpt from the latter (minus "lo" and "vir**" entries - loopback and virtual) for a machine with wired and wireless ability:Ģ: enp4s0: mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000\ link/ether 78:45:c4:30:16:3a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ffģ: wlp3s0: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000\ link/ether a4:17:31:03:05:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Perhaps these work for someone else, but they sure do NOT work here. There are many articles on the net on how to find the MAC address.
