I'm missing an comment about the leading mac used in ShellHub.

I registered some RPi's.
Local I use WLAN and locate them with there mac from wlan-module.
At ShellHub I see the mac of ETH0.
That is great, but you should describe it.

If I just didn't see it, I apologize.

Hi @andy-freund!

Local I use WLAN and locate them with there mac from wlan-module.

The MAC address is only used to generate a unique SSHID for your device, no matter what interface you are using to access the Internet. So, we decided to use the ethernet interface (eth0) because most devices have it.

If I just didn't see it, I apologize.

If you can help with documentation it is well be great!
