In Tiger, the result was reasonable.

<result in Tiger (10.4.11 + MacBook Pro 2.0GHz)+ Japanese User Environment>
--> {"ether", "00", "1e", "c2", "01", "45", "bf"}
</result in Tiger>


But.. in Leopard....

<result in Leopard (10.5.4+ MacBook Pro 2.4GHz)+ Japanese User Environment>
--> {"ether", "00", "1e:c2", "01", "45", "bf"}
</result in Leopard>


I could not believe my eyes...

<AppleScript>
words of "1e:c2"
</AppleScript>

This causes unexpected result. In English user environment, the result was normal.

I have same test with some east asian language environment...

Chinese (Simple Chinese): Wrong
Hangul : Wrong


This Leopard release has a lot of problems -- not just languages. The Cocoamites don't seem to realize the amount of finesse involved in a Mac OS.

Can this work for you:

	ifconfig en0 ether | grep ether | tr : ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 2-


Philip Aker echo email@hidden@nl | tr a-z@. p-za-o.@
