This seems very pricky. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> <div class="im"> > > b) > > Are mac address for XO-1s, EXACTLY same, for every XO-1 on this planet? </div>of course not. how would they tell one another apart? </blockquote><div> Alright. But my first doubt (same mac address for mesh-hardware and wifi-hardware) has put me in topspin :~ Regards, Ajay </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> paul <div class="im"> > > > > > > Looking forward to a reply. > > > > > > > > Thanks and Regards, > > Ajay > > > > > > > >> > >> This does not stop NM from managing your device, but does stop it from > >> auto-connecting the device.
