Hacking Hardware Homebrew Miis changed pants color after changing wifi antenas between wiis and disconecting bluetooth chips (but not interchanging them)

[Playerwii357]

The way a wii differs between a mii made on that console and an imported mii seems to be related to the wifi antenna:
Each mii when created has info about the wifi chip (a_username_that_is_cool suggests that its the mac address) and on the mii channel if the info on the mii relates to the wifi antenna on that wii, it shows as grey. However, if the info differs, it gets blue pants.
One question remains.
1. Is there a way to change the colors back to what they were? theorically this would imply changing the info on the mii itself.
(By the way anyone knows how to change the name of the post?)

Hi all. I recently dissasembled two wiis and interchangead their wifi antenas (one was working, the other was not) and i disconnected their bluetoth chips (but did not interchanged them). Afetr going to the mii channel, i found that the miis with blue pants had now grey ones and the ones with blue pants had grey ones. This on both my wiis. On my thrid wii, never opened, everything still allright.
1.Is there a way to change the colors back to what they were?
2. Anyone knows why this happened? perhaps i touched something else but i dont think i did.
Thanks for the info. This is certainly a weird thing and i tought it was worthy to mention.

That IS weird. According to the Nintendo Support Article on Types of Mii Characters:

• Red Pants
  • Your user Mii character wears red pants and is accompanied by a golden crown icon.
  • The user Mii characters of other users wear red pants and are accompanied by a bronze crown icon.
  • Favorite Mii characters that you created wear red pants and are accompanied by a red crown icon.
• Gray Pants
  All other Mii characters that you have created wear gray pants.
• Blue Pants
  Mii characters received from other systems wear blue pants.
• Yellow Pants
  Special Mii characters distributed by Nintendo wear golden pants.

Seems like swapping the wifi units might have changed the MAC address (definitely did, they're tied to each wifi module) and therefore set some miis as from your wii and some as not
