get interface HW address

1. in userspace use ioctl

/*************some error in code***********************/

static int __init getmac_init()
{
        int sock_id;
        struct ifreq ifr;
        char *macstr = "";
        unsigned char *mac = "";

        memset(&ifr,0,sizeof(struct ifreq));
        sock_id = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
        if(sock_id == -1){
                return -1;
        }
        sprintf(ifr.ifr_name,"eth0");

        if(ioctl(sock_id, SIOCGIFHWADDR, &ifr) == 0){
                memcpy(mac,ifr.ifr_hwaddr.sa_data,6);
                sprintf(macstr,"%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",mac[0],mac[1],mac[2],mac[3],mac[4],mac[5]);
        }
        printk("the mac address is:/n %s /n",macstr);

        sock_release(sock_id);
