There is a MAC address on the back of my laptop, but the sticker is no longer there. So I use the 'getmac' command to get the MAC addresses. But which address shown by 'getmac' above is the one matching the MAC in the sticker on the back of my laptop?
Or am I mistaken something?
00-21-... is the ethernet adapter, 00-22-... is the wireless adapter, and 72-03-... is what?
