MAC address of a Centrino wireless card

I have an Asus S5200 Centrino notebook. Where do I find the MAC address
of the wireless card? I'm running Fedora Core 2.

There should be a sticker on the case listing it. Also, ifconfig should
show the MAC. You can also check the arp cache of any computer that the
notebook has been communicating with.

There isn't.

Yes, thanks. I had been using iwconfig, which shows the MAC address of
the access point but not the wireless card. For the record, I've found
it's also available from system-config-network if you look in the right
place. Select the device, click on Edit and *then* click on Hardware
device. Clicking on Hardware before selecting the device *doesn't* give
you the MAC address. Some very bizarre user-interface decisions here.

You load the drivers and then use ifconfig to see it.
