Hey,

it would be very awesome if the keyfile configuration files supported

[connection]
autoactivate=$UUID


(one or more autoactivate lines) and then do the following:

when the pc is connected to that connection, automatically try to connect to the connection with $UUID. This would be very useful for me, as I am required to use a VPN in a specific WLAN and right now, I'd need to this via a dispatcher (which needs to check on every connection if it is the required one and then make networkmanager connect -- much ugly overhead). It would be much better if that were integrated :)


Thanks for reading and that nice piece of software!
