WLAN.mac() & machine.unique_id() is not accurately reporting the unit wifi mac address

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

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

Cheers

@Strevens
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
