I succeeded to do it by encapsulating the C routine as a DLL and doing an FFI call from my image (as suggested by Guille).
At least there was a way! Looks like this is the most controlled|debuggable way: - get it working with C code out of Pharo - make a bridge that can be used easily with FFI in a dll - use that from Pharo with proven FFI Would NativeBoost work with your dll? Should. I also tried to perform the nativeboost call by creating my structures in
Pharo. The function in Windows that can be used to retrieve mac address in Windows: GetAdaptersInfo <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365917%28v=vs.85%...> that accepts a PIP_ADAPTER_INFO <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366062(v=vs.85).a...> structure. I subclassed NBExternalStructure to define this struct and the other used by it in the image but my NB call returned with 87 code (Invalid parameter) and it was impossible to debug. However, I would like to make this thing work to understand what went wrong.
Has this something to do with 32|64 bit library complications? Phil
With ProcessWrapper, I could not load the classes essential for making the plugin work.

1/ OSProcess: I tried (PipeableOSProcess command: 'ipconfig /all') output.
I have used http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~hernan/ProcessWrapper successfully back when I was on Windows using some now-ancient version of Pharo.
I had initially discarded the idea of using this project because it required a plugin and the information of the plugin was outdated on squeaksource. However, having evaluated superficially the complexity of doing it with nativeboost (because too many external c struct involved in the call), I would like to see if I am better off using this wrapper.
I loaded it with:
Gofer it url: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/hernan/ProcessWrapper/main'; package: 'ProcessWrapper-Core'; package: 'ProcessWrapper-Plugin'; package: 'ProcessWrapper-Tests'; load.
But the plugins wont load because it requires the class SmartSyntaxInterpreterPlugin and apparently this file is a part of the VMMaker. Is there any recent config for VMMaker in Pharo because this one looks outdated:
