Title Reading the Physical Node ID of a network card from code
Ref. No. QNX.000004353
Category(ies) Network, Development
Issue We need to know how to determine the ethernet hardware address of our QNX machine's ethernet adapters from code. 



Solution Do a system() call and pass 'netinfo -l' as the command and parse the outout for 'Ethernet Physical Node ID'. 

To find the address of another node, pass the -n option to netinfo.  This is assuming that the network is a QNX native network.
