On 3Com Cards, the MAC address is printed on the back (at least on my 3C5=
89D).
It says there:
EA=3D00609728E2603

which is in the real world translated to:
[root_at_jaguar root]# arp -a
? (192.168.0.7) at 00:10:5A:12:01:60 [ether] on eth0
? (192.168.0.1) at 00:30:AB:11:A2:87 [ether] on eth0
? (192.168.0.15) at 00:60:97:8E:26:03 [ether] on eth0

The EA=3D number has one too many digits, which, as the arp listing shows=
, is=20
the "2", right in the center.

Best regards,
Chris
