Hi Paul,

If you use different wireless cards for your laptop and bn you would need two 
mac addresses, one for each card.

If you use the same card with both the bn and laptop you would only need 1 mac 
address, the address of the wireless card.

Personally, I don't have mac address turned on here, but I'm not in a high 
wireless usage area either, but if you're really worried about security, it's 
one more 
layer.

Makes sense.
