I typed this and I think it found my network card. The results are as follows:

etho  Link ncap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:18:E3:F1:28
       BROADCAST MUULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
       RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
       TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
       collisions:0 txqueuelev:1000
       RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
       Vase Address: 0x880

I typed this command but got the following response
