Starts a connection to a particular network using the configuration settings from `connection` and the network device `device`. Certain connection types also take a "specific object" which is the object path of a connection- specific object, like an NMAccessPoint for WiFi connections, or an NMWimaxNsp for WiMAX connections, to which you wish to connect. If the specific object is not given, NetworkManager can, in some cases, automatically determine which network to connect to given the settings in `connection`.

`client` : | a NMClient
`connection` : | an NMConnection
`device` : | the NMDevice. [allow-none]
`specific_object` : | the object path of a connection-type-specific object this activation should use. This parameter is currently ignored for wired and mobile broadband connections, and the value of NULL should be used (ie, no specific object). For WiFi or WiMAX connections, pass the object path of a NMAccessPoint or NMWimaxNsp owned by `device`, which you can get using `nm_object_get_path()`, and which will be used to complete the details of the newly added connection. [allow-none]
`callback` : | the function to call when the call is done. [scope async][allow-none]
`user_data` : | user data to pass to the callback function. [closure]

Adds a new connection using the given details (if any) as a template, automatically filling in missing settings with the capabilities of the given device and specific object. The new connection is then activated. Cannot be used for VPN connections at this time.

`client` : | a NMClient
`partial` : | an NMConnection to add; the connection may be partially filled (or even NULL) and will be completed by NetworkManager using the given `device` and `specific_object` before being added. [allow-none]
`device` : | the NMDevice
`specific_object` : | the object path of a connection-type-specific object this activation should use. This parameter is currently ignored for wired and mobile broadband connections, and the value of NULL should be used (ie, no specific object). For WiFi or WiMAX connections, pass the object path of a NMAccessPoint or NMWimaxNsp owned by `device`, which you can get using `nm_object_get_path()`, and which will be used to complete the details of the newly added connection.

Deactivates an active NMActiveConnection.

`client` : | a NMClient
`active` : | the NMActiveConnection to deactivate

### nm_client_get_active_connections ()

    const GPtrArray *   nm_client_get_active_connections    (NMClient *client);

Gets the active connections.

`client` : | a NMClient
Returns : | a GPtrArray containing all the active NMActiveConnections. The returned array is owned by the client and should not be modified. [transfer none][element-type NMClient.ActiveConnection]

Gets a NMDevice from a NMClient.

`client` : | a NMClient
`iface` : | the interface name to search for
Returns : | the NMDevice for the given `iface` or `NULL` if none is found. [transfer none]

### nm_client_get_device_by_path ()

Gets a NMDevice from a NMClient.

`client` : | a NMClient
`object_path` : | the object path to search for
