[Pythonmac-SIG] Obtaining the hardware address of the first network card

[Pieter Claerhout]

I there are more, then I need only the first one that is found. AppleSystem
Profiler is apparently able to find it out, but I can't seem to figure out
how. I also looked on developer.apple.com for any samples, but most of the
code samples there are targetted to Mac OS X :-(

And yes, not every mac has a network card, but for me, this is a non-issue,
since all the macs that are supposed to run this program do need a network
card, since it's a program designed to be used over a network ;-)

In theory, there could be multiple addresses, so how do you presume
to figure out which one? And some Macs don't have ethernet. :)
