Re: need advice: how to cancel my parents netvision account

From experience with hot that charged me while I had bundle (pay to
isp for infrastructure as well), I sent a simple letter to Isracard to
cancel any payments to hot "Lealtar" and not to honor anymore requests
from hot. That solved the problem. Isracard won't pay them until I
give them a new notify. Do the same with netvision. But you should
write a registered letter to netvision.

how can I find which motherboard I have and the mac address?

I would like to know what motherboard I have and the mac address of
the laptop. How can I find the information.

Motherboard: sometimes this information is in the DMI, so try

dmidecode  | grep -A 5 "Base Board"

or simply check the whole output of dmidecode.

For MAC address (it is usually per interface and not per computer) run

ifconfig

The MAC address is reported as HWaddr.

Re: how can I find which motherboard I have and the mac address?

Thanks, I installed dmidecode and ran the command, plus checked the
whole output.

About the mac address, I know ifconfig. I wanted to know the Mac
address of the motherboard. Also, I am more interested in mac address
of the usb ports, firewire.

This is the information I got for the motherboard:

Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 8 bytes
Base Board Information
        Manufacturer: Uniwill
        Product Name: 255/259 Series
        Version:
        Serial Number: 00000000

The serial number looks weird.

Re: how can I find which motherboard I have and the mac address?

Thanks. From the dmidecode I found the serial number to be 000000. I
think it's not normal.
And for the bios, I will check when I boot again.

 I know lsusb and lspci. lsusb shows id when something is plugged in
(but this doesn't work for me anymore ;-( because all the usb ports
fried).
I was trying to find as much as possible identification in order to
know when the service will claim that motherboard was changed, that
indeed it was changed.

Thanks a lot.

Then, in addition to the high tech methods, you can probably resolve
to some low-tech like putting a mark and/or a sticker on some
component on the board. If you do it conspicuous enough they probably
won't bother moving it to the other board.

BTW - what about writing something to the NVRAM. A quick debian
package search found only "nvram-wakeup" but maybe that's enough.

Writing something to nvram is as simple as "echo something > 
/dev/nvram". That is not the trick.

The trick is writing something to nvram in a way that will not interfere 
with the machine's normal operation. Also, if the lab does "restore 
factory defaults" in the CMOS, it is highly likely that what you wrote 
to the nvram will be erased. If they remove the battery for long enough 
it is certain it will be erased. So, no, I don't think that's a good option.
