Alexander, to answer your other question about NM re-connecting when I
edit a connection...

When I edit a wired connection, I don't see any visible disconnect / re-
connects when I change MTU or auto-connect and hit Apply.   If however I
make "Available to all users" false, I see a disconnect, and the system
doesn't automatically re-connect.  This also seems to be a culprit in
the creation of more than one Wired interface.   After the disconnect,
if I click on the applet menu, I see:

Wired Network
   disconnected
o Auto Ethernet

If I select it, then the I'm connected, and if I open the Connection
Editor, I now see two wired interfaces:

Auto Ethernet
Auto eth0

Neither of them are available to all users, and the new Auto Ethernet
connection doesn't seem to have a MAC address set.
