Running NetBSD 1.5_ALPHA, I noticed

helicon% ifconfig ep0
ep0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        media: Ethernet 10baseT
        inet 10.1.0.102 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.1.0.255
        inet6 fe80::260:97ff:fef8:30%ep0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x13

I was looking for the mac address of the ethernet card and was surprised
that it wasn't mentioned.  Then I ran

helicon% ifconfig -a
...
[stuff about other interfaces deleted]
...
ep0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:60:97:f8:00:30
        media: Ethernet 10baseT
        inet 10.1.0.102 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.1.0.255
        inet6 fe80::260:97ff:fef8:30%ep0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x13

And noticed that the address was included there.  Perhaps we should add the
address field to the first one as well, or am I missing something?

CU!  Mike.
