&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for reaching out to us with your request. Based on your description, this is a highly customized implementation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While we do not have a complete solution tailored to your needs, we will do our best to help you address some of the challenges.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since you plan to use UART or SPI to send commands and data to the Fanstel module, the &lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-2.9.0/page/nrf/samples/wifi/shell/README.html"&gt;Wi-Fi: Shell&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;sample would be a good starting point. This sample also provides support for transmitting and receiving raw MAC layer data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The MAC address can be configured at runtime according to &lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nan_043/page/APP/nan_043/mac_address.html#ariaid-title1"&gt;MAC address configuration&lt;/a&gt;. However, you may need to modify the &lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-2.9.0/page/nrf/samples/wifi/shell/README.html"&gt;Wi-Fi: Shell&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;sample and add custom commands to fulfill your specific needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Charlie&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
