Hello,

Short answer: No.

Long answer: At the time of connection selection, this information is not known 
to NetworkManager. It would be possible with some magic to gather broadcasted 
information or even perform active checks based on e.g ARP/NDP. Then you could 
match to more than just a MAC address. Also it would be theoretically possible 
to transition from one connection configuration to another and then you could 
even use information from the DHCP exchange. I don't think anyone is working on 
this, even though it would be interesting and very practical.

Cheers,

Pavel
