    Peter,
    try typing "ifconfig" on the command line
    it will give you lots of information about your nic, ie on mine:

    $ ifconfig
    fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
            inet 192.168.3.8 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.3.255
            inet6 fe80::203:47ff:feec:360c%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
            ether 00:03:47:ec:36:0c
            media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
            status: active
    lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
            inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
            inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
            inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
