getmac fails finding Android 12 MAC

[emadmahdi]

Hi,
I created a test script to find out why your getmac package cannot find the MAC of an Android 12 device (Amazon Fire Stick Gen 2) .. location of my script:

script: . . . https://muslimruler.netlify.app/public/macproblem
output sample: . . . https://nopaste.net/output_sample.txt

From my script results .. I knew the problem was that .. most network commands does not exist on that Android 12 device .. The solution was very simple .. Just install busybox binary file and that will allow your getmac package to have a full access to all missing network commands.

So I suggest you add busybox binary file to your python package .. it is around 1.5MB file size .. You can add it to your list of methods as method number "28".

I also suggest that you add something in your getmac package that will inform users that .. required network commands are missing from the device.

Or you can add busybox as an optional downloadable file.

Thank you,
Emad
