Yes, I'm on a wireless network at home. I do not have Bluetooth enabled.

Going deeper into System Profiler reveals that the first address is
associated with AirPort, en1, the second address with built-in
Ethernet, en0. (Built-in FireWire reports the same address as en0 but
with two additional hex digits.)

Is the second address the identifier for my network card?

Yes. So is the first. Both are network cards.
