I have a clean installation of Ubuntu 12.04 Server. I would like to find the UUID for a network connection. How do I find this?
ifconfig -a does not list it:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:67:6a:78:a8

nmcli is not installed (because this is Ubuntu server):
user@server# nmcli
The program 'nmcli' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install network-manager
From a desktop install, I can do:
user@desktop# nmcli c list

How do I find it when network-manager isn't installed? Surely I don't have to install network-manager?
