I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to find the mac address for my
wireless card in vista. I'm having some difficulty as neither ipconfig
/all nor wireless card properties from device manager seems to have the
info. I know I could physically look at the card and get the number,
but I would really like to learn how to find it through the software.
Thanks.

This works in WinXP, may be the same in Vista:

Open a Command Prompt window and enter:

getmac /v

Good luck!

I like David's answer, but not ipconfig /all shows the MAC address as
Physical Address.
