You're getting closer to the truth than some of the earlier posters, but there's an important point that is missing; MAC addresses are tied to interfaces, not devices.
So a wireless router with an ethernet interface will have two MAC addresses; one for the ethernet side of things, and one with for the RF side. So contrary to the article, getting the (RF) MAC of your WAP most certainly won't require any form of hacking, be it social or script kiddie; any device that is able to talk to your WAP, by definition, knows what its MAC address is.
