as you can see on the script below, hardwarekey depends on 
 1. - the mac addr of the 1st interface (eth0 by default)
 2. - some infos on your CPU (won't change from one board to an other)
 3. - some infos on your HD (WILL change from one CF to another)
So, if "you swap out a cf card that was dd from another working wrap
board that is nolonger used but is still registered to wiana", it seems
likely that :
your mac address will change -> your HWkey will change -> your WianaIP
will change.
That's ok (IDE information won't be taken into account anymore to
process hwkey)

your wiana ip won't change if you don't change the CF.
if you change the CF, just comment out the ide_info part in 
/hj/ultrakey
and the key won't change.
if you keep on using wrap, you should better install your own remote 
iso
repository and do some sort of getandverify to upgrade the boxes (i do
that).
