Interface br0 MAC address?

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.
 
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...
