The physical address is the memory block where things are stored during use. Linux uses physical to virtual and virtual to physical to access the Linux kernel and user work space. For more information you can check these web sites: Andries Brouwer's Linux Kernel Notes: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/lk/lk.html (see section 9) There is also a physical address for network cards. That address is input at the factory when the network card is manufactured. There is an online forum about How to Enter Physical Address in Wireless Network, which you can find here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494842
