I'm pretty sure that the last field isn't type of mote because the serial
doesn't care about that.  It is just looking at serial packets.  It would
suck if it cared.

Rather it is the baud rate.  You can give it the name of the mote and it
makes assumptions about what speed the connection is being run at.  There is
a table that the code goes and peeks in to get the speed.  Kind of kludgy
but that is what the code is doing.

Thought I'd clear that up.

That might be what's causing the null pointer.
