I need to retrieve the ethernet address to bind a file to particular system, so that it can be used on that system only

Right, that's a DRM usage.  This means that you need the primary built-in MAC address, regardless of whether the user has changed the MAC address for networking purposes (using ifconfig).  In that case, you should use the GetPrimaryMACAddress sample.
