/sbin/ifconfig <interface>

eg,

/sbin/ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:12:AB:12:CD:34
          inet addr:192.168.184.100  Bcast:192.168.184.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::212:f0ff:fe99:ef85/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:714197 errors:0 dropped:8 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:163791 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:228745948 (218.1 MiB)  TX bytes:13371439 (12.7 MiB)
          Interrupt:21 Base address:0x8000 Memory:c8400000-c8400fff

See the bit "HWaddr 00:12:AB:12:CD:34" in the first line?  That's the 
interface's MAC address.  Note - this one is spoofed to protect the 
innocent :)

HTH,
