displays network interface info including hardware mac addresses for versions of node < 0.12
npm install interfaces
This plugin will hold me over until v0.12 is released and stable -- and adds needed functionality for those can't or wont update
* Produces output similar to os.networkInterfaces(), but with an added MAC address per interface
* os.networkInterfaces() was changed in master and will be first released in v0.12 to include this functionality See #6686
* lib/utils.js also includes a synchronous execute that has been added master and will be released in v0.12 See Changeset
* I've tried to keep the output and usage as close as I can to what is in master -- so you should /knockonwood/ just be able to switch your call when you update
