Re: NIC identification
often they will pe printed onto th card, or printed onto a sticker that is
placed on the card or one of the chips on the card, it will be a in the
form: 00:01:02:70:5E:B1 or possbile without the colons, but it will
contain that many digits. The first 6 numbers (00:01:02) identify the
vendor, and i this case thats 3com (3c905-c-txm)
