yes, of course it's windows.
The problem is: NetBSD doesn't attach the driver for the NIC.
I can probably fix that, but for this I need the etheret address of this
adapter, so that I can know its ethernet vendor code.
As NetBSD doesn't give an easy way to print it, the easiest way is to use
another OS, for which a working driver is available, to get this ethernet
address.
I don't care what OS you use, as long as you can provide me the address :)
I gave windows as an example, because it's the most likely to be installed
on a i386 laptop.
