      REPL interface is reporting Mac address ending BB9E
      Wireshark show actual Mac address used is BB9F

          I could be wrong but I think the MAC you're seeing on Wireshark is the soft-AP MAC address (Pycom board as WiFi access point) while the one you get via .mac() is the internal STA (Pycom board as WiFi station) MAC

            @jmarcelino ok, thanks. The Lopy was in AP mode. I will give it a try in STA mode.

            Cheers
