Thanks for the suggestions.

For point number 1, you may use template tags, it would work if you compile
specific images for each major use case you have.
You can flag an image to have tags "free_wifi, wpa2_enterprise" and all the
tags tagged with one of those will be automatically added then the device
registers.
