Wrong example ;)

It talks to gnome-settings-daemon's sharing plugin which hides the
implementation details of how to start/stop services and the various networks.

And use dnssec-trigger to configure VPNs or Wi-Fi? :)

We really want to talk to only one service here, and NetworkManager could provide
