Description Beniamino Galvani 2015-12-16 14:28:33 UTC 
Currently there is no way to change the MTU for ip-tunnel, vxlan and
tun/tap interfaces created through NM.

For vxlans and tun/taps it makes sense to add a NMSettingWired to
the connection since they are layer 2 interfaces (for NMDeviceTun,
only when in 'tap' mode). For these devices, also add support for
changing the MAC address.

For IP tunnels, adding a NMSettingWired seems wrong since the device
is layer3-only and so I would add the MTU to the ip-tunnel setting.
