Package: guessnet
Version: 0.29-2
Severity: normal

I use test-peer tests to locate where my computer is. Problems started
to arise when I had to provide two possible MAC addresses for the
network equipment I probe. Relevant lines in /e/n/interfaces are:

iface eth0-xxx inet static
	<interface configuration info>
	test1-peer address 192.44.78.22 mac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
	test2-peer address 192.44.78.22 mac bb:aa:dd:cc:ff:ee

That is because 192.44.78.22 could be one of two physical machines, each
with its own NIC.

Detection becomes unreliable when the two tests are included (two ifup's
are typically needed, sometimes three), although it works flawlessly
with only one test.

I certainly do not have the expertise to give a fix, but
intuitively I would say that guessnet can probe different IPs in
parallel but may have to test sequentially the same IP against different
MACs.
