Feature request: Add a method to NetworkManagerSettings interface to create a new auto connection for a specified device.



Hi,
  Currently, NetworkManagerSettings interface has method ListConnections() to list all existing connections. NetworkManagerSettings.Connection interface has method Update() to update properties of a connection, and Delete() to delete the connection. But there is no method to create a new auto connection for a specified device. Thus, it's impossible to fully control network manager and its applet from another application without implementing its own settings service.
  My suggestion is to add a new method to NetworkManagerSettings interface, say NewAutoConnection (or similar), to create a new auto connection for a specified device. Input parameter would be the device path and returns the path to newly created connection.
  With this new method, the API would be self-contained. 3rd applications would gain full connection manipulation ability solely via dbus, without linking to libnm-glib and libnm-utils.

Regards
James Su
