I am getting there. This works fine in the browser:
http://plazes.com/suggestions.xml?mac_address=00:00:5e:00:01:22

(mac address taken from arp command or /proc/net/arp

But this is what geoclue tries:
http://plazes.com/suggestions.xml?mac_address=00:11:95:36:50:45

I am now digging into connectivity-networkmanager.c
