    I don't know what a net_device is, but I am gonna guess it is your nic card. you can tell that by running
    ifconfig
    if it is active, it will tell you which device belongs to which IP.

    for the mac address, look up `arp`
    New to the internet, technical forums, or the hacker / open source community??
