Of course you can read the MAC address from user space.

Just use the standard tools:

	bash-2.05b# uname -a
	Linux cmcpu2 2.4.27-vrs1 #1 Sat Oct 8 18:00:54 MEST 2005 armv4l armv4l armv4l GNU/Linux
--------------^^^^^^ CMC-OU2 board
	bash-2.05b# ifconfig eth0
	eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr F6:70:1D:61:B5:9D  
----------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ MAC address.
