# এটা MAC ঠিকনা কি?

A MAC address is the unique identifier that is assigned by the manufacturer to a piece of network hardware (like a wireless card or an ethernet card). MAC stands for Media Access Control, and each identifier is intended to be unique to a particular device.

এটা MAC ঠিকনা দুটা আখৰৰ ছটা সংহতি অন্তৰ্ভুক্ত কৰে, প্ৰত্যকটো এটা কলন দ্বাৰা পৃথকিত থাকে। `00:1B:44:11:3A:B7` এটা MAC ঠিকনাৰ উদাহৰণ।

আপোনাৰ নিজস্ব নেটৱাৰ্ক হাৰ্ডৱেৰৰ MAC ঠিকনা চিনাক্ত কৰিবলৈ:

Open the Activities overview and start typing Network.

Click on Network to open the panel.

Choose which device, Wi-Fi or Wired, from the left pane.

The MAC address for the wired device will be displayed as the Hardware Address on the right.

Click the settings button to see the MAC address for the wireless device displayed as the Hardware Address in the Details panel.

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.
