Hello,
I'm working with an application that tries to detect the
ethernet hw address of the machine for validating a user. My PC does
not have an ethernet card. So
when the application querries, linux returns a null string, and the
applications fails to run.
The same application on same PC on windows works fine because windows
returns the ethernet id as 000000000000 and not a null string.
Is there any way i can make linux return the ethernet id as
000000000000 when the ethernet card is not present on the machine ?
I guess virtual ethernet adaptor could be one possible way, can
someone give me a step by step procedure for going about using this
method, if this is the best solution.
Thanx in advance.
Regards,
Pushkar
