  <title>Mikä MAC-osoite on?</title>

  <p><em>MAC-osoite</em> on yksilöllinen koodi, jonka valmistaja on määrittänyt tietylle verkkolaitteiden ryhmälle (kuten langattomalle verkkokortille tai Ethernet-kortille). <em>MAC</em> on lyhenne sanoista <em>Media Access Control</em>, ja jokainen koodi on laitekohtainen.</p>

  <p>MAC-osoitteessa on kuusi kahden merkin sarjaa kaksoispisteellä eroteltuna (esimerkiksi <code>00:1B:44:11:3A:B7</code>).</p>

  <p>Tietokoneen MAC-osoitteen selvittäminen:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-terminology">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Network</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Network</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui>Wi-Fi</gui> or <gui>Wired</gui> from the list on the left,
      depending on which device you want to check.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Your MAC address will be displayed as the <gui>Hardware Address</gui>
      on the right for a wired connection, or open the connection details by
      pressing on the
      <gui style="button"><media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/emblem-system-symbolic.svg" width="16" height="16"><span its:translate="yes">details</span></media></gui>
      button to see the <gui>Details</gui> for wireless network.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>In practice, you may need to modify or "spoof" a MAC address. For example,
  some internet service providers may require that a specific MAC address be
  used to access their service. If the network card stops working, and you need
  to swap a new card in, the service won't work anymore. In such cases, you
  would need to spoof the MAC address.</p>
