[K12OSN] Finding MAC address for NIC

I have a server that has 3 NICs in it.

Eth0 and Eth2 are configured.

Eth0 is private and Eth2 is public in this K12LTSP server.

What I want to do is enable eth1, give it a public number and use it to 
monitor traffic in and out of our LAN by connecting it to a *hub* that is 
between our router and our first public switch.

I think all I need is to know how to determine the MAC address on the NIC 
so I can configure it.

I can shutdown the server, remove the NIC and let kudzu remove it, then 
restart it and let kudzu re-configure it, and that may work, but I can't 
take it down to do that since it is our main server.

Any ideas?
