"""A library for NetworkManager
User's view: the computer has an IP address and can connect to one of the
WiFi networks around, or to a wire.
Admin's view: the computer has network interfaces (on network devices),
which have configurations (/etc/network...). They can connect to access
points around. A connected interface has an IP config.
NetworkManager's view: computer has L{Devices<Device>}, some of which are
managed by L{NetworkManager}. WiFi devices see L{APs<AccessPoint>}. There are
L{Connections<networkmanager.applet.Connection>} which specify how a type of
device (wired, wireless) can be activated. The connections are provided by two
services separate from NM: NMSS and NMUS. To connect, the needed ingredients
are a Connection (+its service), a Device, optionally an L{AccessPoint}. It
results in an L{ActiveConnection} which remembers its ingredients. The device
then knows its L{IP4Config} and L{DHCP4Config}.
(TODO: explain VPN plugins, modems (ModemManager))
