4 Subject: [PATCH] manager: accept non-null device for VPN activations
5
6 Commit 10753c36168a ("manager: merge VPN handling into
7 _new_active_connection()") added a check to fail the activation of
8 VPNs when a device is passed to ActivateConnection(), since the device
9 argument is ignored for VPNs.
10
11 This broke activating VPNs from nm-applet as nm-applet sets both the
12 specific_object (parent-connection) and device arguments in the
13 activation request.
14
15 Note that we already check in _new_active_connection() that when a
16 device is supplied, it matches the device of the parent
17 connection. Therefore, the check can be dropped.
