Help to implement some features

[Lamarque Vieira Souza]

	Well, now I release I will have to add ModemManager support to solid 
before I can finish my patch. As far as I can see I will have to add a new 
.xml file in solid/networkmanager-0.7/dbus/introspection/ and run 
qdbusxml2cpp, or even adding a new solid/networkmanager-0.8 directory or even 
a solid/modemmanager 0.3 directory. Too much changes for a simple feature :-/ 
Ok, let's try it.
