That's a good reason, but it doesn't require such a drastic solution.
I would rather have one address for a wireless WAN interface and
another address for a wireless LAN interface -- which seems to be
doable today -- much more than I want to wait for the solution
with "Mobile IP" address traversal to become commercially available.
No, what you want is a serial number. Or at least what you describe
is a serial number. An address is very different.
Take care,
