Incidentally, using the Bluetooth MAC directly wouldn't be such a silly idea. Different interfaces on the same host can share the same MAC just fine. For instance on (at least older) SPARC hardware the MAC address was actually the property of the computer; all network interfaces used the same one. 'course, you couldn't hook two interfaces with the same advertised MAC onto the same LAN segment, but that's not really a relevant limitation here. So, if one were to use a static MAC on the usbnet interface, I'd say go for the BT MAC; it's easy, and there's one associated with each Neo. Personally I don't have a problem with a randomized one, but this would seem like a logical thing to do. -- Mikko Rauhala - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - <URL:http://www.iki.fi/mjr/> Transhumanist - WTA member - <URL:http://www.transhumanism.org/> Singularitarian - SIAI supporter - <URL:http://www.singinst.org/>
