Hi

We currently use some code like this:
=====================================================

   InetInterfaceInfo   myInetInterfaceInfo;

   OTInetGetInterfaceInfo( &myInetInterfaceInfo, adaptorInterface );
      if ( myInetInterfaceInfo.fHWAddrLen > 0 ) {

=====================================================
...but these Carbon types and functions are deprecated and won't work when
we port to x86_64.

Does anyone know of some equivalent simple C types/functions in the Apple
libraries that do the same thing and that will work on 64-bit?  Because of
where we are putting this, we are trying very hard to avoid C++ or
Objective-C code.

We use the code for getting the MAC address of the host, so any other ideas
on how to do that in C that will work in the future also appreciated.

Please feel free to CC replies to me

Michael
