That's the best option for now, but of course there are security issues with that since any MAC address can be spoofed. There are vague plans to attempt to automatically identify wired networks by listening to the wire for a few seconds and detecting 802.1x EAP-Request Identity packet s or ARPing a specific IP address and matching the returned MAC. This feature would have to be opt-in because obviously it would delay network connections. If that's something you'd be willing to work on, that would be great... what do you say? :) Dan _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
