in reply to obtaining MAC address(es)

Unfortunately to obtain details about a system's configuration, even if multiple operating systems share common pieces of hardware, you're going to have to resort to something pretty OS-specific. At this point you're not so much doing "application things" but querying the system itself, so the mechanism is going to have to be OS-specific. If you can't find a common method for retrieving this information (SNMP was mentioned), you're going to have to find or write a module to do this in a portable way, using different methods depending upon what's available.
