We warn if there is no connection to the internet (questionable
to create a hotspot in that case) or if creating the hotspot
would drop the default connection to the internet (ditto).
Dan recommends that we do not discriminate between WPA and WPA2,
so we don't have to bother with showing multiple strings at all
anymore, it is just None or WEP or WPA now.
This is an implementation of network sharing (aka 'Hotspot').
The new 'Use as hotspot' button lets you use a wifi device
as a hotspot for sharing network connections with others.
Currently, the panel generates a ssid based on the hostname,
sets the security to WEP, and generates a random key. These
parameters can be edited afterwards.
It is currently not possible to show how many connections
are using the hotspot. Apart from this, the implementation
is pretty much complete.
Due to size allocation changes in GTK+, wrapping labels without
a minimal width now become very high. So we need to set a reasonable
width-chars value to ensure the label shows up.
Comparing by object id does not work here, since there is no
guarantee that the object id will still be present in the array
after we did filter the list by strongest-per-ssid. Instead,
compare the ssid.

A suprising number of people need this to be able to get onto their wireless
network. This is also a Fedora blocker if that matters.
This patch also adds a string. I don't feel there is a way around it, although
we could steal the translations from another project. I think using a real word
is better than displaying a blank entry or a picture or something. I dunno.

If NetworkManager knows that firmware is missing, say so.
This matches recent changes in the gnome-shell network menu.
It adds one new string, "Firmware missing", for which I have
pulled existing translations from the similar "firmware missing"
string in gnome-shell.

There's no mockup for bluetooth devices, and it's not clear what any of the
buttons or sliders should do.
I'll actually wire up bluetooth devices for 3.2, but this at least fixes the
assert ready for 3.0.
We were not listening for state changes on the ActiveConnection
objects representing actual connections, but only listened for
active connections appearing or disappearing. This caused
the VPN tab to get stuck on 'Authentication required' or similar
'intermediate' states until you manually switch tabs and back.
Also keep the switch from jumping back to off while the
vpn auth dialog is up, by adjusting the states we consider 'off'.
We can't actually see the new connections for the other types, and so it's deceptive at best
to allow the user to create anything other than the VPN connection type.
It is not something the user did wrong so we shouldn't use a mean
looking error icon. We use computer-fail when something is wrong
with the setup of the computer that the user can't fix.
If you choose Automatic and then don't fill in any configuration URL, it
defaults to WPAD.
But really, WPAD is a bad default anyway; if you enable it on an untrusted
network, then anyone else on that network can tell your machine that it should
proxy all of your web traffic through them.
The best bet might be to just add some explanatory text to the (otherwise
nearly-empty) Automatic page.

Strip out an extra label between the device list and the right side
to win some space, and force the right-hand sides on the proxy tab
to not change size.
