[K12OSN] Finding MAC address for NIC

[Doug Simpson]

It shows up in dmesg, but that is it.

This was in there from a new install and it used to be active, but somehow 
it got crossways with one of the other NICs and I had to unconfigure it.  
It hasn't been visible since. . .

Will try to remove it and reboot and reset it up and see what happens. . .
