   Actually it is the Wireless LAN address not the wired LAN   
   address. You can see this as the BSSID on your phone if you   
   install something like the "Wifi Analyzer" app.

   "The Web is great for finding a list of the ten biggest cities in the   
   United States, but if the scientific literature is merely littered with   
   wrong facts, then cyberspace is an enticing quagmire of falsehoods,   
   propaganda, and just plain bunkum. There simply is no substitute for   
   skepticism."
