Description Matthias Clasen 2011-03-10 21:53:48 UTC 
The + button should bring up some dialog that lets you create a new connection.
Since we won't have time to duplicate the bulk of nm-connection-editor, the compromise proposal is to just make it launch nm-connection-editor, perhaps with a 'create' mode that instead of showing the tabs0-with-lists' presents a dialog that lets you choose the connection type to create and then goes to the type-specific create dialog.

The - button should also come back, and allow to remove manually created connections from the list. We don't want to allow removing the default connection of a device (eg 'System eth0'), but if you manually create a second eth0 connection, it should show up in the list and be deletable. Similar for VPN connections.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2011-03-12 20:53:47 UTC 
We should also implement the option buttons that are in the design, and make them bring up  nm-connection-editor to edit an existing connection. I've added the buttons now, still hidden.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2011-03-16 02:08:20 UTC 
Option buttons have been added and minimally wired up. + buttons have been brought back, and also minimally wired up.

Next steps:
- Show newly created connections in the device/connection list
- Let the - button remove them again

I think we're good here now.
