I hear that the latest Apple IOS uses a random MAC address when scanning local wifi hotspots - so "people" can not track the device so easily... seems like a good addition. It would also be interesting if I could automatically change my MAC address every so many configurable minutes - both on wifi and wired interfaces... a bit like I can do with my IPv6 address...

We are using CloudPath XpressConnect to provision Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, etc. with our WPA-Enterprise EAP-TLS configuration & certificates. XpressConnect's Linux support uses a native Linux binary and relies on communication with the NetworkManager DBUS API. The rapid changes in this API and other system components on Linux cause this to break frequently. For example, XpressConnect works on a freshly installed Fedora 20, but not one updated with the latest package updates. XpressConnect for iOS just generates a .mobileconfig file server-side, and the client downloads that and installs it to configure- the network settings, install certificates, etc. There is no client-side code at all. It would be nice if NetworkManager supported a similar methodolgy for standardized network configuration provisioning.That would be nice, and if the .mobileconfig is well-formed enough we might as well just use that format. It might not be too hard to create an importer (similar to the VPN plugin importers) that could just be run client-side that would send all this to NetworkManager. I've filed: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731596 and this would be a great standalone project for anyone that wants to help out or get into NM development!
