FW: Obtaining Ethernet MAC address



Is it possible using the classes in the example link below to also
obtain the 'Name' of the ethernet card, i.e. as in the Systems/Network
panel as "Airport", 
"Built-in Ethernet" and so on? 

And in conjunction, is there some way, to distiguish between the cards
and if they are wireless or not?

Thanks
Carl

Have a look at http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/ 
GetPrimaryMACAddress/listing1.html
It does exactly what you want.
