Once you've found it, use the setActiveDevice method call.  Its
arguments are:

If wired:
1) DBUS_TYPE_OBJECT_PATH: path of device to activate


If wireless:
1) DBUS_TYPE_OBJECT_PATH: path of device to activate
2) DBUS_TYPE_STRING: ssid
3) DBUS_TYPE_BOOLEAN: fallback (don't worry about this one, set it to 
FALSE)
4) Security information; but if you've already connected to it
automatically, don't bother to set it.  Just stop at 'fallback' and NM
will use the cached security information from the first connection
attempt.
