Description
I read in #921: "ESP sets its MAC address as a concatenation of 3 fixed bytes and 3 unique bytes." I think you mean that the 1st 3 bytes of the MAC address are the same between all 8266s. However, looking at the MAC addresses of my 12Es, some have 1st 3 bytes 18:FE:34 and some have first 3 bytes are 5C:CF:7F. Moreover I just purchased a 12F and its 1st 3 bytes are 60:01:94.
I'm concerned about this because I have been using getChipId as a unique identifier for all my 8266s. But now that I see that the 1st 3 bytes of the MAC address are perhaps not fixed after all, I wonder if it is possible that the last 3 bytes may not be unique between different runs of 12Es or between the 12E and 12F.
