To bind/lock a connection to a specific device, you need to add the
device's MAC address to the 'mac-address' setting in either the
'802-11-wireless' or '802-3-ethernet' settings, whichever is appropriate
for your device.  If the connection is not locked to a specific device,
it is available for activation on any device.
