[Gllug] Reading MAC addresses

[Nathan Matthews]

>From my days of dos programming (over 6 years ago) the only way you 'might'
be able to do this is via bios interrupts.  Sometimes this had to be hand
coded in assembler, which isnt nice!, but some dos C programming
environments allowed you to call int86 and int86x.  You have to find out
what interrupt number to call and what to pass in and out of the registers.
There might be some third party software out there that allows you to do
this.  Perhaps you mean windows and not dos?  Dos development has been dead
for years.

*nod* Well, I don't think there is a cross-platform method. You'd
probably need an '#ifdef DOS', and I have no idea how you're going
to find out what to put in there. :-/
