If you say `ifconfig -a' it will print the MAC addresses of all the
NICs, along with a bunch of other information.  Look for `HWaddr', or
run
    ifconfig -a | grep HWaddr

NIC 1 would usually show up in Linux as eth0, but this cannot be
relied on.  So if the system has multiple NICs it is necessary to
consider all of them without making assumptions about the mappings
BIOS <-> Linux <-> silk screen printing on the case.

(Often if a motherboard has multiple onboard NICs, they will have
consecutive MAC addresses, which can help clarify.)
