It doesn't seem to be all that consistent. 'mistral', 'sardine' etc. 
are distribution version code names, a la debian. But I think there's an 
additional fuzzy "compatibility" sense, in that mistral is 2.0 and 
sirocco is 2.1, but apps built against mistral should still work on 
sirocco. This is based on the apt/sources.list on my tablet and 
speculation. 'sardine' seems to be the equivalent of debian unstable or 
experimental. It's for testing, but never released directly.

It's the same as your tablet's MAC address, so you can also get it by 
running '/sbin/ifconfig wlan0' in an xterm. I just wrote mine down.

Hope that's of some help, anyway.
