Cool. Added a typo fix commit on top. You'll want to merge the current
devel branch into feature/spoof-mac, resolving any conflicts
introduced by commit d28ac88.

At least logging something on failure would seem useful.

Do you really mean "active" here?
If so, then I think we can allow ourselves to ship feature/spoof-mac
without the NM active probing issue resolved, but I'd like to see
clear plans about this topic (even if it is "it looks too hard, let's
file a wishlist and email a few people asking if they want to
implement it for us") first.
