device: add spec "driver:" to match devices Changing the MAC address of devices is known to fail with certain drivers. Add a device-spec to allow disabling it for for such devices. Related: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777523

# Certain drivers are known not to support changing the MAC address.
# Disable touching the MAC address on such devices.

[device-31-mac-addr-change]
examples: drop rtl drivers from the mac address change blacklist Just in case anyone uses this file as-is; I believe that these drivers don't need to be in a blacklist. There's a good chance they either work or we can detect failure to change a MAC address on runtime and act accordingly. Blacklisting the driver gives the driver maintainers no chance to fix the behavior and we are not able to log a warning on failure.

[connection-31-mac-addr-change]
examples: don't set "ethernet.cloned-mac-address" in "10-no-wifi-scan-rand-mac-address.conf" These are workarounds for Wi-Fi drivers. Don't set the unrelated "ethernet.cloned-mac-address" property.

# These are defaults for the connection profile. Here we set only the default
# value. Note that the default value already should be "preserve", so this has
# no actual effect.
examples: blacklist drivers "wl" and "8188eu" in "31-mac-addr-change.conf" for "wifi.scan-rand-mac-address" These drivers work bad with changing the MAC address. See [1], [2], [3] for reports about failures with "wl" driver. [3] also blacklists driver "8188eu". While we already blacklist "r8188eu", it seems that some installations use the alternative name "8188eu" [4]. "wpasupplicant" package on Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) provides the file "/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/no-mac-addr-change.conf", which blacklists the same drivers. See also bug [3] which added the file.
