[OSX-Users] Re: logging in to one's iPod/iphone with prompt?

[Chris Andrews]

Then I'm afraid the only way you can check that with ifconfig is to jailbreak your device, install sshd, then ssh to root at 127.0.0.1 with password "alpine", then install ifconfig as well. 

Warning: This may leave you open to malware. Plus jailbreaking voids warranty, yadda yadda yadda.

I have never encountered a situation where the MAC in about is not the MAC of the device. However, for verification, you could try the original box it came in, if you still have it. That may have a MAC on it.
