Hello there, I wish to obtain the MAC address of the primary ethernet card on a Solaris OS via C. This program is invoked many times/second so calling an external program is not really suitable. The MAC address is being obtained for the purpose of providing a low-level software lock/key system (low level meaning I am aware it's relatively trivial to circumvent). And How to get MAC Address using C++ program), In this article we are going to learn how to set MAC Address using C++ program in Linux Devices? Note: Since MAC address is assigned through manufacturer of the product, but if you are writing code for an embedded devices and needs to.

i want to find the mac address using a C program in linux. how to do it?

C Program To Validate Mac Address

Some sample code:

There's also nice 'kernel functions wrapper' like library:DNET

which provides great functionality to use it on low level networking.(also getting MAC addresses).

There are UNIX & win ports for both libraries.
