Yes, but what I need is to listen for every connection/device becoming
active or inactive. So I would have to find out, what devices are
present, then listen to the appropriate signals for *each* of them?
What I would need, is a signal, that tells me, that *some* device has
become active und what device that is - as the outdated documentation
wrote for "DeviceNowActive" and "DeviceNoLongerActive".

I read the aforementioned documentation somewhere on the web.
I fact I'm running NetworkManager 1.2.2 :)
