How can I get the Wireless Card MAC address ?

Thanks

Are we talking about an SD wifi card? Look on the back, that's where my MAC address is printed.

I am talking about the integrated wifi card

Not the best nor easiest way, but I watched the log files on my LinkSys to see what devices were connected. Mine would not conenct as I had MAC filtering enabled, however I was able to see the devices MAC.

I am sure there are apps out there that will do this, I believe IP Dashboard will do this as well:

It will show you the MAC address in the 'Wireless LAN Manager" (it does on my XDA2s)

The BSSID is the MAC address of the AP (access point) that you are connected to. (if you are connected)

Below that you will see the unit's (client) MAC address

Problem is: WLAN manager doesn't show the MACaddress if you just turn it on, only when it's associated with an Access Point. (i.e. when it has a wireless link)

Just like the previous poster, I've had to disable any security on the AP to get it connected in the first place. Once its online you can pick it up from DHCP logs or whatever and re-establish your WEP/WPA/PEAP and macfiltering.

Hmm are you sure? I've tested it. I'm not near my AP, and have no connect with one, but I do see my MAC address!

Try running vxIPConfig (http://www.cam.com/vxipconfig.html) from Cambridge Software (http://www.cam.com). It'll display the MAC address for all installed network cards.

Hi,

On a related note, is it possible to see what networks/wep keys are setup anywhere?

If for example you wanted to remove one or one changed, I have never seen anywhere which lists them.

Thanks

Excellent software along with vxIPutil.
You could install cmd.exe as well and use he good old
ipconfig /all

Cheers,

On my 9090 I also have to be connected to an Access Point to ba able to see my Mac Adress.
Once connected go to Wireless manager, below click on the Configure Wireless Netwerks icon, then click on the network in the top window under Add New, this opens the network with name and connects to: At the bottom 3 Tabs, middle is Network Key, there is the WEP key, Disabled on my work network and Enabled with my Key on my home network. hope that helps abit.
