Seems that turning the universally administered Bluetooth MAC into a different link-local MAC usable on the USB interface would be as simple as to flip the second least significant bit of the most significant byte into a 1¹. This would give us Neo-spesific static link-local MACs in the simplest possible manner, and will allow us to easily tie together the BT and USB MACs also from the host side, if desired. How's that sound to you? As an aside, last night I wrote up some suggestions on how to deal with USB network IP and routing settings in the final product, with use cases². You're welcome to add your own input to the wiki, if you have any; that's what it's there for. ¹ <URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address > ² <URL: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Talk:USB_Networking > -- Mikko J Rauhala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Helsinki
