The MAC addresses, for both the WiFi card and Ethernet card are on the original box the system came in.
Not sure why you need them unless you have enabled MAC filtering on your router. MAC filtering is of no use for security. So I would just disable that.
MAC filtering is of no use for security.
Why would you say that? I have MAC filtering enabled - it makes it absolutely impossible for one of my neighbors (or, for that matter, a houseguest) to use my internet connection unless I grant them access by adding their MAC address. May not be "necessary", but nevertheless, a great additional peace of mind feature, IMHO.
If you boot to the Recovery Partition, I believe the System Information menu option under Utilities will give you the correct MAC address.
