UPDATE:
I'm tried to change SN and... got not working Wi-Fi module... I don't know what is wrong, but after changing SN, settings page says "Wi-Fi MAC Address: Unavailable" and Wi-fi can't connect. Changing SN back enables Wi-Fi
So, please do not change SN or other hardware ids if you not have Serial line adapter to repair it.
Even if you change your mac-secret etc it won't work..
(tried cloning two devices, so cloned ALL the values!)
Only thing I didn't try is to copy the display Eeprom.

FYI: Other stuff to know:
Code:
##manufactoringcode ends with:
echo -n "mac-address" | md5sum |cut -b 29- | cut -c 1-4)
PCB serial:
end with "SHW" wifi only
end with SHR wan/wifi

machineID is stored in: var/lib/dbus
