MAC address of TBS6905 DVB-S2 Quad Tuner PCIe Card

Question

I have TBS6905 DVB-S2 PCIe card and its configured in Ubuntu 14. And I have to find MAC address of all adapters because my application will do Blind Scan for all four adapters at the same time.

And index of these adapters will change after reboot.

So I have to find MAC address and set static start and end frequency to particular adapter device using C language.

What I tried: - I checked dmesg but I did get MAC address(while I have also Prof 7500 DVB-S2, in that dvb card I can find MAC address using dmesg). - And I also checked udevadm command, but no luck yet.

Thank you.

What kind of interfaces does this card provide into the linux userspace? Video4Linux? Ethernet (virtual)? http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/77170/how-to-bind-v4l2-usb-cameras-to-the-same-device-names-even-after-reboot — Stian Skjelstad, May 19 '16 at 09:10
Its PCI card so its directly connected to mother-board have a look, [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMKiLcRD4GU) fast-forward to 3:10 — Parbat, May 19 '16 at 09:52
I guessed it was a PCIexpress card, due to the main subject. But what I asked about was what kind of interface you are provided with when you are inside Linux — Stian Skjelstad, May 19 '16 at 11:58

The persistent eth interface rule for udev, you can probably grab from another version or distro.

The MAC address is visible for shell scripts if you run commands like ifconfig.

I think **ifconfig** gives machine's MAC, not other hardware like DVB – Parbat May 19 '16 at 08:29

We can give static Index to particular DVB device using udev rules.
