FlexLM license checks query Linux network identity through SIOCGIFHWADDR and /proc/net/dev. Those probes previously fell through to Darwin ioctl handling or missing procfs entries, so guest programs could fail before reading the license file. Add a host-backed helper that maps eth0 to the primary macOS link interface, exposes loopback identity, and fills /proc/net/dev with host interface counters. Keep a locally administered fallback only when no usable host MAC address is available.
