Hello,
In the inventory section for Dell PCs, I see that the MAC Passthrough address isn't being displayed.
This doesn't seem illogical to me, as it's a specific address not linked to a physical card, but it is present in the BIOS.

I don't know if it's possible to display it using a special method in the WAPT console?

I'm having trouble figuring out where this is coming from.
You should run a debugging operation during an update (using PyScripter)
and set breakpoints here:
https://github.com/tranquilit/WAPT/blob ... ws.py#L678
https://github.com/tranquilit/WAPT/blob ... s.py#L1828

Okay, I'll do that as soon as I have some time.
Actually, I'm not sure it's a "bug" on the WAPT side, since this same issue is encountered by other inventory tools like OCS or FusionInventory.
It's a bit unusual because it's a bit like a virtual MAC address that isn't assigned to any physical network card.
You can see it in the BIOS, and the PC only allows it to be transmitted to network devices connected via USB-C.
I was just wondering if it seemed possible to retrieve it another way.

If you have a bit of Python code, we can do something.
I didn't understand how to proceed.sfonteneau wrote: ↑June 18, 2020 - 10:13 PM I'm having trouble figuring out where this could be coming from.

However, I doubt that this will give us more information because, regardless of WAPT, whether using dmidecode or lshw, I don't see this @mac either.
And according to Dell, without having USB-C network devices, you need to use their utility to obtain this address without going through the BIOS

Let's just say that if you have a piece of Python code capable of retrieving "Passthrough MAC Address" we can see about integrating it.
