You get a CR-48 in the mail. You want to use it but the wireless network only allows access to specified MAC addresses. How do you determine the MAC address?

Since you have access to the network configuration (to allow your new device), turn off MAC filtering for a minute, connect, and sift through the list of connected devices, get the MAC, add it to the list of allowed devices, and re-enable filtering. – Daniel Beck Dec 21 '10 at 20:41

Type:

chrome:///system

Look for 'ifconfig' and select expand. You'll see 'wlan0'. 'HWaddr' is the MAC address.

Looks like this may or may not work if you're disconnected: code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=10032 – Shinrai Dec 21 '10 at 20:42
