Q: which is my ethernet mac address when in a retina with adapter?

Hi,

I need to get my ethernet mac address, but i have a macboock pro retina displays that only have wireless connection. I bought the gigabit ethernet adapter, but i need the mac address because the University system that will provide me the net connection needs it to allow my computer to the net.

 

Where can i find it?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

    Plug the adapter into the MBP-R (*) and go to System Preferences > Network > Thunderbolt Ethernet > Advanced.

    (*) You may also have to plug an Ethernet cable into the adapter at least once. Mine has been plugged in, and I didn't check the MAC address before the first time, so I can't tell for sure.
