Start it up so it makes a DHCP request. Use tcpdump to watch for the
packet. There is a parameter you can pass to make it print the link
level headers, ie the mac address. It will use the ip address 0.0.0.0
which should make it easier to spot.
Another option could be to look at the DHCP server. If it gets a
request from a machine it does not know the mac address of it may
print an error message with the MAC address.
