patch

Here is a somewhat quick-n-dirty patch to make

nm-connection-editor --create --type <type>

show only the ui for creating a connection of the given type, and then exit

nm-connection-editor --create

show a dialog for choosing the type to create

nm-connection-editor --edit <uuid>

show the ui for editing the connection with the given uuid, and then exit


This is will be used as a stopgap measure to support creating and editing connections in the control-center network panel for GNOME 3.0.

Thanks!  Cleaned up and refactored a bunch, the options have changed somewhat:

create this type of connection:
--create --type 802-11-wireless
--create --type gsm

show the given connection type page
--type 802-11-wireless

edit a specific connection
--edit <uuid>
