    Hi,

    I need to read the MAC address of a Ethernet chip. How do I get this
    using
    vxWorks APIs?

    I use the muxIoctl approach as well. To get the cookie, use muxTkCookieGet and pass the device name and unit.

    muxCookie = muxTkCookieGet ("gem", 1);
    status = muxIoctl (muxCookie, EIOCGADDR, (void*) macData);

    Thank you man!! :) works like a charm.
