Native Mac Address

Hi,

I know that Ethernet Card 's Mac Address can be changed.
Now I have a question:
Through the function QNetworkInterface::hardwareAddress () we can obtain the native Mac Address or the Mac Address modified?

Thanks
Gennaro

before i launch mysql connecto from external server i check network ...
&& it return forever the actual status....

Code:

---

/* if external network is up? */
static inline bool NetworkEnable() {
 
    bool validip = false;
    QList<QHostAddress> addrlist = QNetworkInterface::allAddresses();
    int o = -1;
    foreach(QHostAddress addr, addrlist){
    o++;
    QNetworkInterface hop = QNetworkInterface::interfaceFromIndex(o);
    QString mach = hop.hardwareAddress(); 
    QString name = hop.name();
    QString oneip = addr.toString();
        if (!oneip.contains("127.")) {
         bool actual = hop.isValid();
            if (actual) {
             validip = true;  
            }
        }
    }
return validip;
}

You can't rely on the Qt API on this one.
You better use the platform API:

Linux:

See paragraph 29.
