Getting the Ethernet Address?

I've been slogging through the Unix manuals trying to find a way to get
the Ethernet address of my system.  I've found a number of ways to get
the Internet address, but I'm interested in getting the raw Ethernet
address (the one with format %x:%x:%x:%x:%x:%x).  I'm working on
Sun's (all types) but am wondering if the procedure is the same on
all (BSD) Unix systems.  If there's anyone that can tell me how this
is done, can point me in the right direction, or whatever, please email
to me at the address below.  I'll post a summary on request.
