This is actually what I was thinking, when available i.e. on a Local LAN
same subnet, etc NMap should report the MAC address. If it can't figure it
out don't worry, but the default should report it if it can be obtained.
This would be helpful for local LAN diagnostics and getting all the info in
one place.
