A few items we should take into consideration for future innovation and improvements. - The hostip provider should be extended to listen to signals for network connetions, and once one becomes availble we can enable asynchronous notifications back to the kernel. - Extend this to try first the GeoClue gypsy provider, gpsd. - Consider writing a GeoClue provider for https://wigle.net/ which the supplicant can use to inform GeoClue of location. - Consider writing our own GeoClue provider based on timezones as a last resort. - Consider whether or not the kernel may want accuracy information as well to make more interesting decisions.
