Some interfaces which we'll never be able to use for 802.1X should probably be blacklisted.

This includes interfaces such as gif0, and stf0 on Mac OS X (and possibly others. fw0?)

There are likely other interfaces on Linux (and Windows?) that should be blacklisted.

It might be best to try and call an IOCTL on each platform and key off of the interface type and/or capabilities.

    Like my web cam on windows... :) Doing an IOCTL would be a good thing and checking to see if the MAC address is all zeros, would also be a good thing.
