The following code

Qt Code: 
  1. foreach (const QNetworkInterface &ni,  QNetworkInterface::allInterfaces()) {
  2.         if (!(ni.flags() & ni.IsLoopBack)){
  3.             macName = ni.hardwareAddress();      // lets match & get our information for this device
  4.         qDebug() << macName;

how can i filter threw the hardware addresses where QNetworkInterface::humanReadableName = local area connection and spit that one out only ?
