Try magic.
The only mac address the server sees is that of its upstream Ethernet*
router, at best.
MAC addresses are purely Ethernet*.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address
*strictly MAC addresses also apply to other things like token ring etc,
but who uses those these days?
Your only hope is to ask the browser to supply it in a cookie using
probably javascript or java, but I very much doubt the browser would
actually bn able to tell what it was.
And it would be trivial to fake it anyway.
Which makes the final point, which is that there is zero purpose in
having it at all in the first place.
In short you want an impossible solution to a problem that has no
purpose in the first place.
