Comment:

 Two issues after quick testing:

 - When I start sugar in sugar-emulator after applying the patches, it
 makes NM reconnect to the AP, interrupting any open connections. This is
 in NM's log:

 Jul 14 11:07:40 tresne NetworkManager[1330]: <info> (wlan0): device state
 change: 8 -> 3 (reason 0)
 Jul 14 11:07:40 tresne NetworkManager[1330]: <info> (wlan0): deactivating
 device (reason: 0).

 - Shell startup is blocked for several seconds and this is written in the
 logs:

 1279098480.666589 ERROR root: Error getting the access point properties:
 org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetAll" with signature
 "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist

 Apart from the actual error, this makes me think that all/most D-Bus calls
 should be made asynchronously to void locking up the whole UI.

 Would be good if you could get someone else to test this patch before
 submitting for review again, because this patch requires quite a bit of
 integration work.

 Also, attach patches created with git format-patch.
