Wi-Fi stuff again
Well, it seems that you’ll be able to add friends to your Nintendo WiFi Connection list either by Friend Code (12 digit ID) or by MAC address. The MAC address stuff surprised me. I’m wondering if they’ll be allowing any sort of cross-platform gaming that way. 
Taken from an interview with Jim Merrick (Marketing director of NOE) (en español):
Sin embargo, si lo que queremos es competir contra nuestros amigos, sí que podemos chatear, porque es seguro, cómodo y es alguien al que le hemos dado nuestro identificador. Cada Nintendo DS viene marcada con un código MAC, al que se accede con facilidad desde las opciones WiFi de la consola. Este código será el que tengamos que facilitar a la gente contra la que queramos competir para poder chatear con ellos y establecer partidas mucho más completas y elaboradas.
Real translation c/o Icythus @ #dsdev EFNet:
Nevertheless, if what we want is to compete with our friends, we can chat because it is secure, comfortable, and it’s with someone we have given our identifier to. Each DS comes marked with a MAC code, which you can access easily from the console’s wifi options. This is the code you have to give to people you want to compete with so you can chat with them and establish much more complete and elaborate matches.
