Network security issue
- @cghague
Our IT folks do not want people installing devices on insecure networks. I had to plug the TinyPilot into a standalone switch to get the MAC. Why can't these be printed and shipped with the device? I want to recommend replacing our Lantronic Spider KVM, but IT will demand a simple setup to install them for users.

Hi Arthur, thanks for your message. It's great that you're considering using TinyPilot devices!
We don't currently print the MAC address on the TinyPilot device's case, but it's an excellent idea, so I'll feed it back to the rest of the team as a potential idea for a future hardware revision.
Thanks for the feedback!

I had the same issue with mine and had to grab the MAC via arp -g.
It would be handy if the MAC was posted in the logs and in the System -> Network Info (With all relevant network info)- CCharles Hague @cghague2024-07-10 01:36:08.131Z
Thanks for the feedback, Paul!
The quickest way to get the hardware address of your TinyPilot device's default Ethernet interface is to connect over SSH and then run the following command:
cat /sys/class/net/eth0/addressI can see how it would be helpful to include this information in the debug logs, so I'll discuss this with the team as something we could consider adding as a future enhancement.
