Hey I'm trying to find out what commands to use in Linux Mint to find out what the wi-fi and network mac address is? Anyone know? I'm an old WinXP user,,,
ifconfig
...
Eliminate a little of the clutter:
$ ifconfig | grep broadcast && ifconfig | grep Ethernet
inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 42:e5:34:20:b1:33 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
Use the command ip a as the replacement, if your distro provides it.
3: enp0s25.2@enp0s25: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 18:03:73:b0:ea:10 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Here is what you need to provide: 18:03:73:b0:ea:10
Some system administrators will require you to reformat this address to match what the router they are using expects. For example, for some Cisco equipment they will want 1803.73b0.ea10 -- if said sysadmin is a real tool.
