What is the Cisco iOS (CLI) command to display a WAP's Radio MAC address?

Question

I can't believe I'm unable to find this with teh g00glez or by RTFMing, but does anyone know how to display the MAC address of a Cisco WAP's Radio (wifi connection) from the command line?

show version is nice enough to tell me that I have 2 Radios, a FastEthernet interface, and even give me the MAC address of the FastEthernet interface, but that's completely useless for correlating these things up to the MAC addresses recorded by our wireless surveys, which, for obvious reasons, have the MAC address of the radios, rather than the wired connection.

On the off chance it matters, these are 1242 AG Aironet WAPs (AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9), running assorted version 12.x K9 iOSes.

Thanks to a nice sock in chat, I found the answer to this after I'd already typed up the question. The painfully obvious answer is show interfaces. Good ol' shint.

Maybe you can try

show dot11 bssid

My output is like(multiple SSID configured):
