I have tried to find the mac address of a USB modem by using the terminal (both dom0 and sys-net) and the commands: “ipconfig”, “ipconfig -a”, “ifconfig”, “ifconfig -a” and “ip link ls”, but none of them returns the mac address for the USB modem.

So how can I find the mac address for the USB modem using a terminal ?

unman

ipconfig is a windows command - ifconfig is linux.
Provided the USB modem is attached (as a modem) to sys-net, `ifconfig
-a` , or (newer) `ip -a addr` will show the device and mac adddress.
