Hi Serge,
I'm using a cable-modem and need to find out what
it's MAC number is.
1) is this equivalent to the MAC address of an ethernet adapter?
no, the modem has it's own mac address
2) does anyone know how to find this MAC number using
Linux?
yes
do this:
tcpdump -i <ethernetdevice>
then, turn your modem off, and back on.
now you should see some traffic generated by your modem, including the mac of
your modem.
