Hardware address on Mac Os X
-
@mrjj , Hi the wifi is not active and the mac is on lan with ethernet active (it is a macbook pro).
@stephane78
Ok. should have a MAC for the lan. At least on linux/windows.So lets wait and see if an actual macintosh users know if its a bug or
simply works differently for this platform :) -
@mrjj, Hi I have found that :https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2004-June/007415.html from that :http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10593736/mac-address-from-interface-on-os-x-c, so I can perhaps try this low level thing on mac os to get the mac address.I come here back again to tell you if it works....

@mrjj,Hi to add to the above things,I have two interfaces "lo0" and "gif0" if I use qDebug and netInterface.name();.So now I will try the code that I mentioned above to get the mac address.

Just to be 100% sure, you did go and look in "hardware" on the mac that it does in fact have an address?lo0 = loopback
gif0 = Software Network Interface
stf0 = 6to4 tunnel interface
en0 = Ethernet 0
fw0 = Firewire
en1 = Ethernet 1
vmnet8 = Virtual Interface
vmnet1 = Virtual Interface
http://superuser.com/questions/267660/can-someone-please-explain-ifconfig-output-in-mac-os-xI do wonder why you dont have a en0 ?
Happy coding :) i wish you luck.

@mrjj, Hi, ifconfig detects en0 but Qt doesn't detect it....so thanks I will try the code for freebsd above, with interfaces en0, en1 and en2.
@stephane78
Oh, you should say Qt version and mac OS version btw. It might be bug or regression. -

@mrjj it is mac os 10.10.4 and Qt5.6.0
@mrjj, yes it might be bug.But I have done a function QString interfacetoMac(char * ) based on the freebsd code that returns the mac adress and I call interfacetoMac on "en0" (if the result is empty on "en1","en2") and I had the Mac address (hardware address) on the mac.So my problem is solved.it seems that Qt don't see en0 on the mac....

Hi,
Can you re-test that on a more recent version of Qt ? With my current build of 5.7 it's working correctly.
Try 5.6.1-1 at least or the 5.6.2 latest test package.
