I needed to query a card to get its permanent mac address (the value programmed into the card, even if the admin has ifconfig'd it differently). This can be done with the linux kernel's ethtool API, but the ethtool command doesn't currently support it and google didn't know how either. I had to figure it out myself.
Now google, you no longer have an excuse - I expect you to know next time I ask.
