Based only on the fact that the name contains mac, I'd imagine it has something to do with a Wii MAC address, or perhaps Nintendo's "friend codes"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by JoshDreamland2 (talk • contribs) 19:26, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
HMAC = Hashed Message Authentication Code ?
In my line of work, when I see HMAC I think hashed message authentication code... seeing as Nintendo investegated quite a bit into crypto with the Wii, this seems to make sense..
Perhaps you can use this device node to have the Wii perform an HMAC on some chunk of data... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harningt (talk • contribs) 02:10, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
