why do you need the mac of the modem anyway?
Good question, I was expecting it a bit earlier actually :-)
I'm a coditel customer and they recently sent us a new URL for a
sub-site of theirs where I'm supposed to see my current consumption of
the monthly allocated 10 GB.
I'm trying to see where I am but it keeps aksing me for a MAC adress for
my cable-modem... I checked from the sticker on the modem, from the
papers I got with the modem, with arp, ifconfig, etc...
Not one of the numbers I'm able to find seems to work with their site.
Now you know :-)
ifconfig gives you the mac of your ethernet card.
with arp -e or tcpdump (as i described earlier) you can find out the mac of
the modem.
i'm not 100% sure, but think that the modem only has 1 mac.

I'll let you all know if I manage to make it work.
