This is similar to clicking a Wi-Fi network's SSID in a GUI applet.
The command does this:
- creates new connection (fills the user data specified via options, the
connection is then completed with default parameters by NM)
- and then activates the connection on a Wi-Fi device.
WPA-Enterprise is not supported as it requires a plethora of parameters and
they can't be obtained automatically.
Also, the created connection uses 'auto' IP method, which means that if the
Wi-Fi network doesn't support DHCP, the connection will albeit be created,
however the activation will fail (IP configuration won't be available).
Add nm_device_connection_compatible() that returns an error when it fails.
nm_device_connection_valid() does the same work except it doesn't set GError.
"InfiniBand" has a capital "B". Fix that everywhere it's being used as
a human-readable string.
In particular, the RH initscripts recognize "TYPE=infiniband" and
"TYPE=InfiniBand", but not "TYPE=Infiniband", which is what we were
writing before.
This is a proposal to include the NMActiveConnection master property in
nmcli con status.
Feel free to suggest a more user friendly method of printing this
information.

The command didn't delete the connection, because nmcli exited before NM could
check permissions (actually ConsoleKit didn't see the process).
Now nmcli waits for "Removed" signal or D-Bus return (error) message on "Delete"
method call.
Field values can now be string arrays. print_fields() recognizes the format and
prints values accordingly.
Setter functions was added to facilitate setting string vs. array:
set_val_str(), set_val_arr()
nm_access_point_get_hw_address() is deprecated in 0.9.
Also change 'hwaddr' parameter for 'nmcli dev wifi list' to 'bssid'. 'hwaddr'
still works but is deprecated and not documented any more.
nm_client_activate_connection() now uses NMConnection instead of
D-Bus connection path. Also, callback uses NMActiveConnection instead
of the path.
We can also remove the workaround waiting for "active-connections" change,
because the activation callback is now called *after* the NMActiveConnection
object is available in the active connections list.
