Thank you!

Did you notice my comment about the sed statement? Looking at the git repo i see
the sed statement in the follwoing line is still unmodified. When i try it here
i get nothing.

these two from git echo nothing back:
$ LC_ALL=C ifconfig -a | sed -ne
"s/.*[[:space:]]HWaddr[[:space:]]\{1,\}\($re\)[[:space:]]*$/\1/p"
$ LC_ALL=C ifconfig -a | sed -ne
"s/.*[[:space:]]HWaddr[[:space:]]\{1,\}\($re\)[[:space:]].*/\1/p"

this one echos my MACs (this is on GNU/Linux):
$ LC_ALL=C ifconfig -a | sed -ne "s/.*[[:space:]]HWaddr[[:space:]]\{1,\}\($re\)//p"
