Bug ID: 48567
           Summary: Wine returns the loopback IP as first item in
                    GetIpAddrTable and a MAC of 0
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.0-rc3
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: iphlpapi
          Assignee: [e-mail]

C source

This is the same bug as 40247 which was marked as "CLOSED FIXED"

All flexnet based licensing fails to work under wine because it receives
a hardware MAC of 0 returned by the "lo" interface:

$ lmutil.exe lmhostid
lmutil - Copyright (c) 1989-2017 Flexera Software LLC. All Rights Reserved.
The FlexNet host ID of this machine is "ffffffff"

If you compile the attached C program and run it in wine you get:

$ mingw32-gcc -DMINGW -o get_mac get_mac.c -lnetapi32
$ ./get_mac.exe
MAC: 000000000000

In Linux the eth0 MAC is:

$ gcc -o get_mac get_mac.c
$ ./get_mac
Grabbing MAC address for interface eth0
MAC: e03619b3b50e

Hi Zelea, could you please share the complete output of `ip link` on the
computer where you see this problem?

The code enumerates interfaces and takes the MAC address of the last interface.
If that interface doesn't have a hardware address (e.g. a tunnel device) you
get this result.
