network plasmoid for MeeGo

Good news everybody ;)

tonight i successfully extracted the (i think) minimum possible indispensable 
from the components that make the settings ui for wireless in MeeGo tablet, 
and made a plasmoid for the panel out of it, it appears to work ;)

http://wstaw.org/m/2011/09/05/plasma-desktopSS2178.jpg

is now in plasma-mobile/applets/org.kde.active.connman and i would like to add 
it to the panel by default in the meego image (and of course, just there ;)
so for this some help would be needed to figure out exactly what are the 
minimum dependencies to make this work.

there could be potential problems, that could make it worth putting it into a 
separate repo.. it of course depends from connman, its qml bindings and the 
intel qml components, also since includes some of the original apache licensed 
files, the whole plasmoid is apache as well.

connecting over wired and wireless seems to work correctly, the icon in the 
panel is still a fixed one, doesn't change with the status (i'll look into it 
how possible is to put one that depends from connection status)

I still think the realsolution(tm) will be a dataengine that with the same api 
can manage both networkmanager and connman, but for PA1 should be good enough


Cheers,
