           NetworkManager is based on a concept of connection profiles, sometimes referred to as
           connections only. These connection profiles contain a network configuration. When
           NetworkManager activates a connection profile on a network device the configuration will

The permitted values are: "eui64", "stable-privacy" or unset. If the property is set to "eui64", the addresses will be generated using the interface tokens derived from  hardware address. This makes the host part of the address to stay constant, making it possible to track host's presence when it changes networks. The address changes when the interface hardware is replaced. The value of "stable-privacy" enables use of cryptographically secure hash of a secret host-specific key along with the connection identification and the network address as specified by RFC7217. This makes it impossible to use the address track host's presence, and makes the address stable when the network interface hardware is replaced. Leaving this unset causes a default that could be subject to change in future versions to be used. Note that this setting is distinct from the Privacy Extensions as configured by "ip6-privacy" property and it does not affect the temporary addresses configured with this option.</entry></row>
