Interface br0 MAC address?

[MyLeftNut]

Will someone please answer this for me? I'm trying to find out what my interface br0 MAC address is, and in DD-WRT there's:

1) LAN Address
2) Wan Address
3) Wireless Address

If br0 is none of the above, where do I look?

According to the DD-WRT documentation, br0 is the ethernet bridge chip (bridge between WAN and LAN/Wireless). Why would you need an address for that chip, and why would you want/need the bridge chip to have a MAC address in the first place since you can't address it directly?

Yes, I've read through that.
I need the br0 address for a script I'm using to setup ipv6 tunnel on my wrt54g using DD-WRT.

i always thought lan and wan were the same - when i turn my units into AP's i just move the wan port to the lan port vlan and never really think about again.

maybe its a virtual bridge in software

Yea, brX is the default name used by Linux bridging. If you can get a shell the ifconfig command might tell you the MAC.

br0 could also be Brother Networked Printer.

Huh? Unix systems using the LPR printing daemon may default to lp0, but I've never heard of br0 being a printer.

I'll have to check may be the Brother is bro.

Where? In Windows by default it'll show up as "Model Name" or "Model Name on Server" just like every other brand of printer.

I just tried the lowest physical address of the bunch and as it turns out, it was the LAN address. Kinda ambiguous with the way things were labeled...

Any device is using this LAN address?
