How To Get the MAC Address for a Nokia N810
We needed to get a colleague’s shiny new Nokia N810 device on the wireless network, and here at Yale you have to register wireless devices. Interestingly, the manual didn’t seem to have any obvious instrux on how to find the MAC. (Note: We did not RTFM cover-to-cover. That's what searching a PDF is for.) However, the first result on Google for “nokia n810 mac address” contained the steps. We reprint them here for brevity, since the original site contains much more info than necessary to solve this specific problem.

• Click the four-blocks icon at the left
• Choose “Settings”
• Choose “Control Panel”
• Choose “About Product”
• Record the “WLAN MAC Address”
