Help with Terminal commands

[fireshot91]

If I'm using a PCI wireless card with my Mac that isn't used with Airport Utility, how do I find the MAC address of my Mac?

I tried IPCONFIG in Terminal, but it just gives me "IPCONFIG <command> where command is " a whole bunch of commands.

System Preferences/Network/Advanced??

That what your looking for...?

Tried it.

Doesn't have MAC address anywhere.

Choose the ethernet tab...

Should be called summit like Apple ID or Ethernet ID.

Click on the Apple logo and select about this mac>>More info. Then select the network. It will tell you the MAC address under ethernet.

Isn't that for Ethernet connected devices only?

Also, what's my Mac's name?

ifconfig is the command you are looking for.

Ah, thank you.


I'm following this guide:

to set up my NAS as a TimeMachine backup.
On the second command I enter in Terminal, it says to replace the said things with my computer name and MAC address. I finished that. But it says "Can only create one image at a time"

Is there something going on that I don't know of?

Same mumbo jumbo.
