Password management?

[bhny]

Is there a better way to give the routers a password, or have different passwords for each router?

For example- password is generated from a hash of the MAC address + salt

I think this'll be a little difficult to implement. Even if we can set the password based on the mac address "should be doable" with salt and hash, I think the trouble is how to you get the owner the password that was generated since it's a bit of a chicken an the egg issue. Every way you look at it it would have to be predictable from boot and that's no different then a default password :/
