shell("netstat -i") has getting slow on MacOS10.x

[Mike Bonner]

I don't have a mac available at the moment, but can't you use ifconfig for
this?  Most likely with no arguments then parse the results.

If the results are similar to linux (never a safe bet, but worth a check)
 there will be a line with something like HWaddr and then the mac address.
