Not working in Ubuntu Bash on Windows

[laggingreflex]

Using it on Windows Subsystem for Linux gives this error:

> macaddress.one(function (err, mac) {console.log("Mac address for this host: %s", mac);});
Error: EINVAL: invalid argument, uv_interface_addresses
    at Error (native)
    at Object.lib.networkInterfaces (/mnt/c/.../node_modules/macaddress/index.js:31:21)

It seems either Webpack or Babel (or one of their nested dependencies) depend on this as well, so they're failing too...

I have the same problem. Just wanted to add that you can get the mac address inside Bash on Windows with this command.

cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address
