Note that the MAC address printed on the serial number tag is *NOT*
the MAC address of the wireless device. It's close, but it's the
exact same number.

For example, if you have an XP box, try:
Start -> run -> cmd <enter>
getmac
It should belch something like:

| Physical Address Transport Name
| =================== ==============================
| 00-D0-B7-B1-A7-14 \Device\Tcpip_{474E507B-4FCD-428C-A553-304B997C4D96}

Ooops. I forgot that getmac only comes with the various Windoze
Resource Kits.

Another approach that doesn't require a Resource Kit:

net config workstation
