You know what, is it possible that the hwaddr field is being overrun?
Because the media field doesn't show up on other interfaces:

[spacey@obelisk bonding]$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:60:94:B9:B6:D0  
          inet addr:10.0.0.40  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

In five years we'll make up another plan.
Or just re-use this one.
