There's MAC addresses of the hardware your computer connects to.
There's the domain names of the LANs you connect to.

Just try setting up two network configurations in NetworkManager, and
see if it automatically manages to distinguish between them.  If it
doesn't, then you can worry about what tweaks you may have to do.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
