the arp -a didn't work.
The only thing I get is MAC address 162 LBS only....huh??  Not sure
what this means...my router also needs a much longer number then 162.
I see that in the Link Layer in GS/OS and also in Contiki.
I sure hope that Glenn Jones pop's on to fill me in.
Not having a MAC addy on the card goes against the book
completly...never seen it in my life...but this may be a first..
