Currently, ethernet-based VLANs can specify the hardware address of
the parent device (and, in theory, the cloned hardware address and MTU
of the VLAN device) by using an NMSettingWired in addition to the
NMSettingVlan.
The theory was that non-ethernet-based VLANs, when we eventually
supported them, would likewise use the setting type corresponding to
their parent device. However, this turns out to be both complicated
(the settings plugins and connection editor would have a
hard-to-impossible time figuring out which setting type to use in some
cases) and incorrect (for most L2 settings [eg, BSSID, bond mode,
etc], the VLAN can't have its own values separate from the parent
device).
What we should have done was just have :mac-address,
:cloned-mac-address, and :mtu properties on NMSettingVlan. However, at
this point, for backward-compatibility, we will just stick with using
a combination of NMSettingVlan and NMSettingWired, but we will use
NMSettingWired regardless of the underlying hardware type.
Rather than having NMManager know how to parse various settings to
create each kind of software device, add a _new_for_connection()
constructor to each of them and let them call NMPlatform to create the
device correctly themselves.
Rather than setting the VLAN maps when the device is created, set them
at activation time, which is more in line with how other device types
work.
Like the old code, this doesn't attempt to reset any existing
ingress/egress mappings on the device.
readline() makes changes to terminal and when it doesn't receive unix signals,
it has no chance to perform cleanups on exit. So we have to call its cleanup
functions manually on exit.

If you called nm_remote_connection_delete() on a connection whose only
ref was held by the NMRemoteSettings, then the callback would never
get called, because NMRemoteSettings would drop its ref before then
(when the connection emitted the 'removed' signal), so the callback
would get cancelled.
Fix this by taking an extra ref on the connection around the D-Bus
call in this case.

Old versions such as 0.9.4 generated 40-character UUIDs with no
hashes, but libnm-util regards them as invalid. That means that
existing connections stop working when upgrading from 0.9.4.
Continue accepting such UUIDs as valid, and add a test so that
we don't forget in future.
They look exactly like normal Ethernet interfaces, but they are managed
entirely by the Open vSwitch tools in software, so NM shouldn't (yet)
touch them. Treat them instead as generic devices that only get touched
through direct user requests.
- the ifname argument for "connection add" is not mandatory
- support the long names for connection types ("802-*")

nmc_setting_reset_property() function checks whether we allow changing the property
(set_func != NULL) and if so, the property value is reset to default.
remove <setting>[.property] | <property>
It entirely removes given setting from edited connection. If a property is given,
the command instead resets the property to its default value.

Synopsis: nmcli --ask connection add
When '--ask' is used, nmcli will ask not only for mandatory arguments but also
for the optional ones, with a series of questions.
A common case where this warning was triggered, was the removal of
IP6Config objects. As this can happen as a regular event, do not warn in
this case.

Cache externally added IP details and represent them via the D-Bus
interface, and also merge them into the final device config to ensure
they aren't lost if DHCP renews or RA changes occur.
Routes without gateway are legal and should be treated as a device route
(direct route).

Before, when specifying a setting.property with missing property name,
the following happened:
nmcli> set connection.
Error: invalid property: '' not among [...
Reword this special error case of a missing property to make it more
clear.

readline_x returns NULL for empty input, so it is wrong
to call g_strstrip without checking for NULL first.

Since Debian 7 (Wheezy) / Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) ifupdown supports
the source stanza to source in other configuration files from
/etc/network/interfaces.
Add support to the ifupdown plugin to include configuration files via
source.
Patch did not apply cleanly and was slightly modified by Thomas Haller.

Bash completion does now parse the command line from left to right and
only suggests options that make sense at the current cursor position.
If the cursor is not at the end of the line, the words right from the
cursor are ignored for completion. The reason is, that it would be much
more difficult to figure out the valid options when also looking at
options right from the cursor. However, it should still work nicely
even in this case.
There is still an unsolved issue when completing words with space or
other special characters. However, this issue was present before.

Add a flag to indicate that the device is owned by NM.
This is interesting for software/virtual devices, that were created by
NM and should be deleted when the interface gets deactivated.
This flag is not implemented as a glib property.
Maybe this flag can be consolidated with the managed flag. For now it is
unclear how to do it, so add this flag. It should be easy later to
replace it again.
