Some PC cards have the MAC address printed on the back of the cards,
though I'm assuming you've already looked. If you have some sort of a
wireless "Base Station" that you can administer, you should be able to
pick up the MAC address there (if you're able to exclude clients by
only allowing certain MAC addresses).
