I know it's been awhile, but I needed this and found I could use OpenNETCF version of the code above with a tweak:

INetworkInterface[] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces(); //for each j you can get the MAC PhysicalAddress address = nics[0].GetPhysicalAddress(); byte[] bytes = address.GetAddressBytes(); for(int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; i++) { // Display the physical address in hexadecimal. Console.Write("{0}", bytes[i].ToString("X2")); // Insert a hyphen after each byte, unless we are at the end of the address. if(i != bytes.Length - 1) { Console.Write("-"); } }

We can use MDSDK in this type of problems like

using PsionTeklogix.Peripherals; namespace EnumAdapters { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); ArrayList pList = null; string[] lStatistic = null; try { pList = Peripherals.EnumerateAdapters(); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show("failed with\r\n" + ex.Message, "EnumerateAdapters()"); Close(); return; } listBox1.Items.Clear(); foreach (string AdapterName in pList) { try { listBox1.Items.Add(AdapterName + (Peripherals.IsAdapterPresent(AdapterName) ? " is present" : " is NOT present") + (Peripherals.IsWirelessAdapter(AdapterName) ? " [wireless adapter] " : "")); lStatistic = Peripherals.GetAdapterStatistics(AdapterName); // See Note 1 foreach (string StatInfo in lStatistic) { if (StatInfo.StartsWith("Local MAC Address")) { listBox1.Items.Add("» " + StatInfo); break; } } } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); Close(); return; } } } } }

This uses a device-specific library and therefore will work only with the Psion device.
