I've just discovered why I'm having these apparently low passes: when I change my wireless adaptor mac to 4e:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx the virtual network is set to 2e:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. apparently this wasn't a problem since more people seem to have this problem (including NBA_Yoh) and are streetpassing with those macs.
But if I set my adaptor to 2e:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, then the homepassing hotspot becomes 3e:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (again, people are streetpassing in this macs, less people I think, but they are). What I haven't found is a way to make my homepassing hotspot use the 4e:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx adresses (which the major homepass community is using), but it should be possible since it can be either 2e or 3e... any clues?
Anyway I've just realized that I have an openWRT compatible router lying around, so I'll take my chances with it and see if I can get this working (better than using the laptop). I wonder, can one have to streetpass relays running at the same time? Does that mean double passes or the DS just pics one?
EDIT: I've been trying to make the openWRT work, but seems like my router can't have multi SSIDs, so I have to connect it to my internet router trough ethernet cable, then broadcast the nintendo zone, but for some reason I can't make the openWRT router have internet access over the ethernet cable... any clues? Google searching didn't help or what I find is too inespecific/complicated to get a solution
EDIT2: seems like the router itself doesn't have internet connection, but the created access point does and streetpass is working!
Both homepass2.sh and homepass.sh from here (
https://github.com/Nephiel/openwrt-homepass) are working fine, but homepass.sh can have mac-ssid pairing, which seem good as I can add my local nintendozones (I sniffed the AP name and mac adress, but still haven't tried them).
