Some more points: - NetworkManager 1.4 is already in Debian unstable. - The old configuration keys are now deprecated. - The new key's value can be set globally for all connections both current and future by editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf (see man page). This is probably the best way for us take care of this feature. Perhaps we should have a new 'Settings' tab in network connections that will let the user choose the type of randomization (default: random). In case of problems, they can change to 'stable' or 'none'. -- Sunil
