I got that. I really could only think such a feature would be needed in a stealth setting. Like a device that wants to attack but be difficult to track. 1. Boot with random MAC address. 2. Do harm for a short time. 3. Reboot. My use of the Raspberry is to track wheel pulses in a moving vehicle and trigger transducer sampling based on this. I want it always to be on the local network where I expect it to be. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
