Most computers have two (wired and wireless) adapters. Getting a mac address is platform-specific, and the OP has not specified what OS he is using. On Windows I imagine you'd have to access the WMI subsystem in Windows. On Linux you could access the /sys/devices/virtual/net/<interface name> file in the sysfs filesystem. I'm sure there are other ways. No idea on OS X.
